I think it's just a silly looking/sounding word. I don't think it means anything but either I'm silly (most likely) or it's the British sense of humour but just looking at the word makes me chuckle.
Perhaps because it looks like a combination of 'funk' - a fun word in itself and a much ruder word which I'm far too British to type (* hint 'see you next Tuesday' word)
