in reply to What is your favourite meta-syntactic variable name?

$foo is definitely my favorite, with $bar and $baz coming next.. I am a bit suprised, though, that no one mentionned $i (and its companions, $j and $k, when needed). In French, the most common equivalent is $toto, and, when additional alternates are needed, they may usually be $tata, $tutu and $titi.
