Foo was a nonsense word used by cartoonist Bill Holman in the comic strip "Smokey Stover" from the 30's into the 50's. He was reported to have discovered the word in a Chinese fortune cookie and the word appeared in almost every panel in the strip. It predates most of definitions that I have seen so far. The strip appeared in the SF Chronicle or the SF Examiner.

My mom keeps buying me these foo foo ceramic statues to put on my dresser. I really wish she would stop wasting her money on them.
