baz 

A common name for a variable used in programming examples or exercises. It ranks third in popularity after "foo" and "bar", respectively. In fact, it is generally only used when a third variable is needed for the exercise (i.e. foo and bar have already been used).

An exercise in pointers:
int foo;
int * bar = &foo;
int ** baz = &bar;

// (*baz == bar) now evaluates to true
