The C2 Wiki on the topic of POJOs:
Fowler et al invented the acronym POJO so that such objects would have a “fancy name”, thereby convincing people that they were worthy of use.
I don’t know why that amuses me. But it does amuse me. Muchly amuses me.

Every time I think a little too hard about POJOs, I end up with the Hoodoo Gurus in my head, singing "POJO never made it to Darwin".
Could it be because like XP, POJO also re-packages old ideas with a cute name?
And this from a man who uses words like 'blogosphere'.
