Are you sure you want to learn about such stuff? ;-)
For this one you can look at what input \footnote usually allows:
a) \footnote{some text}
b) \footnote[mark]{some text}
So in the example I made \footnote a macro with one optional and one
mandatory argument, which it then throws away.

%% DANGER %%

Some footnote packages goes to great lengths to allow \verb within a
footnote and then my quick fix would break down as soon as you took
advantage of that feature. Then you could do something like
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\footnote[1][]{%
\@ifnextchar\bgroup{%
\def\@tempa{\egroup\setbox0=\box\voidb at x}%
\setbox0\hbox\bgroup
\bgroup\aftergroup\@tempa
\let\@tempb = }{\@gobble}}%
\makeatother
