WTH does FOH stand for? I have been quietly waiting for an explanation to present itself for the last year and have yet to see it. Front overhead?

Loosely refers to the area where the audience would be. Anywhere forward from the stage edge as seen from the stage.

To expound, where the mixing station is for the sound going to the audience, as opposed to that where the monitor mixing takes place.

Front of House is what the audience hears; which is usually vastly different from what the band hears.
