The French pronounce the letters "eaux" as just "o", and foo and bar are placeholder names for functions that are often used in programming tutorials.

Yes, but it's "oh", not "oo" (as in football)

So it's read "foh-oh". If you want to be correct, it's "Fou - barre - base" ("foo - bar - baz")

I'm French and most people know that oo is not "o." Fou would have been the proper way to write it.

I’m not French, but I read it as “foh-zoh”.

But how do you pronounce zoo?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 10 points 2 days ago

"Omlette du frommage."

Zo or zoho

The “oo” in “foo” is written “ou” in French

Thus foo -> fou

“Feauxeaux” would be pronounced “fozo” (‘o’ as in “cold”)
