    Stands for First In, First Out. FIFO is a method of processing and retrieving data. In a FIFO system, the first items entered are the first ones to be removed. In other words, the items are removed in the same order they are entered.
    To use a real world analogy, imagine a vending machine where the items are loaded from the back. When someone selects a Milky Way bar from row E5, the machine churns out the candy bar closest to the front. The next Milky Way in line then moves to the front. Therefore, using the FIFO method, the candy bars are dispensed in the order they were placed in the machine.
    Computers often implement the FIFO system when extracting data from an array or buffer. If the first data entered into the buffer must be extracted first, the FIFO method is used. The opposite of FIFO is LIFO, in which the last data entered is the first to be removed.

        Fly in, fly out. As in people who fly to their workplace (usually for a week or two at a time), then fly [back home]. This type of work [schedule] is common in Australia, especially in [mining] companies as the mine site is often quite remote.

          Abbreviation for First In, First Out, and abstractly means that the first item placed into a container or list will be the first to be removed. The system is used by fine resturaunts like McDonalds in order to [assure] freshest average food quality, though it doesnt address the [omnipresent] half of the stock is [expired] or the refrigeration temperature is too high issues. It is noteworthy that many employees ignore the system altogether in favor of grabbing the most convenient box.
