flarp
/flarp/ , n. [Rutgers University] Yet another metasyntactic variable (see
foo ). Among those who use it, it is associated with a legend that any
program not containing the word flarp somewhere will not work. The legend is
discreetly silent on the reliability of programs which do contain the magic
word.
