Fakanál (Fuh cah noall) This is everything. The thing that made us alive today. A true beacon that is placed in Hungary Budapest that if its on its deadliest form (red white and green) it is powerful enough to clip ANYTHING to the backrooms in 0.0000001 seconds on if it is held by a true Hungarian and if they're chanting "Fakanál, Fakanál, Fakanál". A Fakanál can do anything to anything or anyone anywhere. You must treat a Fakanál with respect and care if not you must face the severe consequences of being Romanian (A very bad thing). If you are Romanian you will be stuck with Gibrin Dawoodmeraz your whole life. A Fakanál is not just a wooden spoon it is more precious than the worlds gold reserve. Fakanál must be capitalized. You can have a Fakanál and a pet Fakanál your pet Fakanál cannot be eaten with. A Fakanál can be eating with but still hace to treat them with respect or therefore you're Romanian Follow the Fakanál laws and get into Fakanálism and if vistiting Hungary you must not leave without a Fakanál. If you don't have a Fakanál you are unworthy and extremelyyyyyy Romanian. If you are gonna use a Fakanál you must ask it for permission to do what you wanna do with it.
Fakanál's are awesome!
