An english man or American would pronounce this like "foo bar", it means literally "bare ass", and that someone goofed. If you say about someone that he walks around with his bare ass here, then he has goofed in one way or another.
The origin of "foo bar" is not known for sure, but I haven't seen the
Scandinavian languages mentioned as an origin before... see
