we had a (creative) writing workshop once where they said “write the worst possible dialogue you can!” with the idea that then we would read them back, and it’d be stuff like “I love you! I’d die for you!” “But you killed for me - that’s horrible!” etc and they’d point out it wasn’t actually that bad with a few tweaks and a good performance.
I kinda saw that coming so I wrote stuff like,
“Zbijgl, my old fart, my favmamort n n n n number is 183442356742255214676213566873225566333543”
“But my cat food is singing, it goes anganganganganganganganganganga”
and they were forced to concede that yes, it is possible to write truly bad dialogue.

oh interesting - I’ve worked at 4 companies in 10 years, they all called it that.
sfdc (Salesforce dot com) is one of the biggest CRMs in the world and pretty much runs every sales department out there, adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.
it’s highly likely you’ve interacted with either or both but maybe in a white-labelled way (e.g. all of Carmax’s computer systems run entirely off Salesforce)
well not in modern parlance but yeah I’m aware it’s an olde timey word
SFDC, IBM, ADP, KKR MYOB are all similarly unpronouncable as singular words.
it has been used as a slur for disabled people.

the list is the helpful part to understanding it.
it would be terrible if, with bar being a list and foo being a member of the list
modified the list. So yeah, you want to look at the list not edit the list, it’s a pointer.
