How do I change the data placeholder with select2?

So far I've tried this.

$(#city).select2({placeholder:foo});

And this...

$(#city).attr(data-placeholder,bar);

But neither works.

I found that if I just set the attr e.g. $(#city).attr('data-placeholder', 'bar'), there is no effect. However, if I set the attr and then call $(#city).select2() with no arguments, then the placeholder updates.

e.g.

$(#city).attr(data-placeholder,bar);

$(#city).select2();
