eaux is pronounced o in the world oiseaux, which means birds. foo is a common stand-in name in programming, along with bar. foo has two o's, which are both replaced with the french spelling.

of course it doesn't! if my user tags are not lying, you are probably using a hungarian operating system, so you should be using this:

megh fó(n):
    visszatér n+1

megh vendéglő(n):
    visszatér n-1
