Fhqwhgads
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Fhqwhgads was introduced in the Strong Bad Email "i love you", which was signed "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf". However, this was probably just random typing; many letters in this name are next to each other on a typical English-language QWERTY keyboard. In attempting to reply, Strong Bad shortened the unwieldy name to "fhqwhgads".
Later, he wrote a song and The Cheat created a music video about fhqwhgads, "Everybody to the Limit", which 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 appear to be small, heavily-pixilated ducks with one small "S"-like leg that flips back and forth as they walk. Strong Bad gets annoyed at them for "jocking" him, as in following him and trying to be like him. Fhqwhgads must be unpopular, lowlife creatures that look up to Strong Bad as a role model, and, as such, he looks down upon them. However, he does mention at the end that he does actually feel sorry for them.
Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner, Coach Z and Strong Mad a lesson in pronouncing "fhqwhgads" in an Easter egg at the end of the Strong Bad Email "sibbie". The correct pronunciation is fuh-HOO-gwah-gahds (in the International Phonetic Alphabet: /fə·'hʊ·gwə·gɑ:ds/).
In Main Page 22, the Biscuit Dough Hands Man pop-ups say "fhqwhgads", using the Visor Robot's voice from the song.
