I have been programming since the mid 70's and foo was in the lexcon at
that point. I guess I am old school.
People have been programming since the 70's?!!?!! I didn't think it was possible until the early 90's! Wow I must be young! ;)

~Philip:
Read up on the history of computers -- the first programmer, as I recall, was one Lady Lovelace who programmed Babbage's first mechanical computer (if you don't count the abacus) in the early 1800's.
Of course, I remember programming with rocks and that was before we had zero's. We only had one's and that was a programming nightmare. You new guys at least have 1's and 0's to work with.
Best,
