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!"
