Living in the Phoenix area, I see FUBAR on the chart all the time but I
was
wondering if people were using it as a generic intersection name...guess
not.

I started this thread , and I was using it as a generic. I'd intended
"foobar" which is widely recgnized as a placeholder by programmers, but I
figured if I wrote FOOBAR people would complain that I couldn't possibly be
cleared to a 6-letter intersection because there is no such thing, which
would invariably devolve into a debate on whether that sort of thing is
permitted by the FARs and a ****ing match between pilots and controllers
saying they only know what it says in the .65. Mission accomplished.
