That would be the trio of bli, bla, and blub

Although in test-code and designs that are designed to be thrown away, i usually use $mist, $kraffel, und $dreck from my local austrian dialect for garbage. Just as a reminder for myself that the code should neither be released to the public nor used in production. (function names often follow a similar pattern, but their mentioning in PM would probably get me banned).
