my best guess would be a mispronounciation of 'fucks' ?
Ok I feel really dumn in asking this, but why is the word fawk or fawkes deemed as a "bad word" or filtered word on neopets? What does it mean? I tried to ask "google", but it only comes up for Guy Fawkes and phoenix from Harry Potter.
This has had me curious for weeks now.

The original Neopets team hated the climax of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so they banned that word to get back at J.K. Rowling.
