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.
I am a little obsessed with a certain yellow sponge.

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.
