Meaning 1: Super Mario RPG forkies.
Forkies are
fork-wielding enemies that are encountered in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Mario and company first encounter this creature in Bowser's Keep. Forkies are round,
gray, and have an
orange ponytail sticking out of their heads. Forkies appear in battle usually alongside Star Crusters and Tub-O-Troopas. In battle, Forkies have high magic stats and above average physical stats. They have one special attack called
Storm which can do a high amount of damage. When a Forkies uses a special attack, a smaller Forkies in the bigger Forkies' mouth can be seen in the animation. They have a weaker relative called Jawful which
Mario meets earlier in the game.
The Forkies will not attack the party, provided the party does not attack them. The game will declare that "The Forkies are enraptured". When the creature is attacked, it will say "The Forkies have come to their senses."
Meaning 2: CollabVM forkies.
A "Forkie" on CollabVM is a nickname typically given to someone who maliciously causes destruction or otherwise renders the virtual machines unusable to annoy, intimidate and/or
troll users of CollabVM.
Although their name derives from the term "fork bomb" (and was the original
definition of Forkie), they do not exclusively run
fork bombs. A forkie
may also run an executable which prevents anything from opening, deleting the registry, or other methods of blocking usability on the VM.
"I met forkies in
Super Mario RPG, tried attacking them but they killed me in the game!"
"I was trying to use CollabVM, but a forkie
came and destroyed the virtual
machine over and over again, it's very annoying!"
