At last I understand what you mean by pawkbacky (although my brain insists on reading it as packbawky and I've no idea whether or not I've spelt it right anyway).
I can make that pawk noise. It's one of my party tricks. My friend taught it me.

No, no--you had it right to begin with--it IS "packbawky", not "pawkbacky". It refers to annoying birds (bawkies), particularly urban pests, which like to congregate in packs. Pack + bawkies = packbawkies. "Pawk" is a completely different imaginary word, referring to the sound made by packbawkies.
So, are you less confused now, or more so?

Gah. I practiced all day yesterday too, under my breath while trudging around strange rock formations and into and out of caves.
Thank you for the explanation, I am now Enlightened - I need only revise my verbal gymnastics and I'll be there.

You should try eating more often instead of just eating more. It'll cut down on the heartburn if you eat little amounts but frequently instead of big amounts 2 - 3 times a day. Eat till your stomach says full, stop, wait a few hours, repeat.
I know, I know, who has the time? Still, its either a time commitment or a pain commitment, so pick one.
