My guess would be, that foo is like "fooBar", "fooDisk" and other "foo"- examples meaning "something, you choose..."

look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar)

srecno ;)

foo is computer slang, this is a place-holder for a command that you have to put there.

If you want to know information about a command, type:

man foo

Thus you can type:

man mkdir
man make
man gcc
foo becomes whatever you want depending on the context.
