'''Fhqwhgads''' is the shortened version of "'''fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf'''", the signature of [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|the sender]] of the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[i love you]]".

'''Fhqwhgads''', the shortened version of "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf", was the signature of the sender in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[i love you]]". This was probably just random typing; many letters in this name are next to each other on a typical English-language [[Wikipedia:QWERTY|QWERTY]] keyboard. In attempting to reply, Strong Bad shortened the unwieldy name to "fhqwhgads". The full length version of the name takes such a long time to say, that Strong Bad can paint a [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife|picture of a Guy with a Big Knife]] in the same amount of time, so it is easy to see how the nickname arose.

The nonsensical name appears to be meaningless, random typing as many letters in this name are next to each other on a typical {{w|QWERTY}} keyboard. When replying to the email, Strong Bad shortened the unwieldy 36-letter name to "fhqwhgads"; the full-length version of the name is so long that Strong Bad painted a [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife|picture of a Guy with a Big Knife]] in the same amount of time it took to pronounce it.
+
The sender was not real, but the email itself a [Wikipedia:I_LOVE_YOU_virus virus] that was sent to random people. Somehow, it got sent to Strong Bad, The virus consisted of exactly what was sent to Strong Bad, it was coincidence that the name "Fhqwhgads" was shortened into a running gag.
-
The correct pronunciation is ''"fuh-HOO-qwah-gahds"'' ({{w|International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects|IPA}}: /<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted"><span title="&#39;f&#39; in &#39;find&#39;">f</span><span title="/ə/: &#39;a&#39; in &#39;about&#39;">ə</span>&middot;<span title="/ˈ/: primary stress follows">ˈ</span><span title="&#39;h&#39; in &#39;hi&#39;">h</span><span title="/ʊ/: &#39;oo&#39; in &#39;book&#39;">ʊ</span>&middot;<span title="&#39;k&#39; in &#39;kind&#39;">k</span><span title="&#39;w&#39; in &#39;wind&#39;">w</span><span title="/ə/: &#39;a&#39; in &#39;about&#39;">ə</span>&middot;<span title="/ɡ/: &#39;g&#39; in &#39;guy&#39;">ɡ</span><span title="/ɑː/: &#39;a&#39; in &#39;father&#39;">ɑː</span><span title="&#39;d&#39; in &#39;dye&#39;">d</span><span title="&#39;z&#39; in &#39;zoom&#39;">z</span></span>/), shown in an Easter egg at the end of [[sibbie]] where Strong Bad gives [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]] and [[Strong Mad]] a lesson in pronouncing "fhqwhgads".

Later, Strong Bad wrote a song  about Fhqwhgads which [[The Cheat]] converted into a music video,
 +
entitled "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". It has apparently sold over 500,000 copies, as evidenced by the gold record seen in [[your friends]]. The song is later featured in the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].

In "Everybody to the Limit", Fhqwhgads is characterized as the [[Atari Dragon]]. Strong Bad gets annoyed at it for "jocking" him, that is, following him and trying to be like him. In the video, Fhqwhgads is represented as an unpopular, lowlife creature that looks up to Strong Bad as a role model, while Strong Bad looks down on Fhqwhgads. However, Strong Bad mentions at the end that he actually feels sorry for Fhqwhgads.

Strong Bad wrote a song about Fhqwhgads, entitled "[[Everybody to the Limit]]", which [[The Cheat]] [[Powered by The Cheat|directed a music video]] for. The repetition of the name in the song lyrics has led to "Fhqwhgads" being used as an alternative title, such as [[Fhqwhgads (karaoke)|in the karaoke video]]. Although vague about who or what Fhqwhgads is, the song and video portray Fhqwhgads as an unpopular, pathetic fan of Strong Bad trying to imitate him and enjoy his popularity; Strong Bad mentions at the end of the song that he actually feels sorry for Fhqwhgads.

A {{w|Music recording certification|gold record}} of the song was seen in [[your friends]], indicating the song had sold over 500,000 copies. Strong Bad's "[[Everybody to the Limit (Live)|Live from West Reykjavik]]" performance of this song was included on the album [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]. Due to the song's lasting success, Strong Bad proposed a sequel for its tenth anniversary in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]]; called "Let's Fhqwhgads Again", the song primarily consists of repeating "fhqwhgads" and referencing "Everybody to the Limit" (much to the dissatisfaction of the [[Visor Robot]]).
