quux /kwuhks/ n.   [Mythically, from the Latin semi-deponent    verb quuxo, quuxare, quuxandum iri; noun form variously `quux'    (plural `quuces', anglicized to `quuxes') and `quuxu' (genitive    plural is `quuxuum', for four u-letters out of seven in all, using    up all the `u' letters in Scrabble).]   1. Originally, a    {metasyntactic variable} like {foo} and {foobar}.   Invented by Guy    Steele for precisely this purpose when he was young and naive and    not yet interacting with the real computing community.   Many people    invent such words; this one seems simply to have been lucky enough    to have spread a little.   In an eloquent display of poetic justice,    it has returned to the originator in the form of a nickname.   2.    interj.
