Foo

For the ghod, see Sacred Order of FooFoo.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959

(1) While "Foo" is synonymous with FooFoo, and always capitalized by loyal followers [and dutiful Rosconian lexicographers -- RE], "foo" is a common word to be used for whatever part of speech is convenient. "A foo more days for to tote the weary load", "foothful foorever", "yours fooly", etc. These foo-proverbs are a chief source of Fooist theology; the Great Source of course is the Writings of the Prophet, Bill Holman creator of the Sacred Foo-Cat [in the comic strip "Smoky Stover"] but other proverbs which suggest themselves, and are in harmony with preexistent teachings, may be trusted. (2) As a nickname, Th' Ol' Foo was E. Everett Evans; Th' Youn' ditto his daughter Jonne.
