Man o' man, you're telling me that your word is recognizable from its onomatopoeic qualities. Bro' you have sensibilities that are far deeper than mine own (no spelling error, it IS acceptable to accord the possessive 'my' using the 'n' sound thusly, as in the assertion, "upon mine honor") when you extract or even detect a sound vis à vis meaning connection of "knife" and sharpness, wow!
"Fubsy" has a lathering sense, kinda... That may be misdirected from "sudsy".
Is it a call made by shepherds or swineherds gathering their animals for a wash up? A 'dip', I believe, in a good soapy basin.
