ONOMATOPOEIA game
 

ONOMATOPOEIA is the literary technique of using a word whose meaning is related to the way the word is pronounced. For example, when pronounced correctly "hiss" sounds exactly like what it is.

Post some ONOMATOPOEIA, but only one at a time.

Here we go with - purr.

Bing!

moo

did you know that you see a cow every day of your life?

"warrrreagl" strikes me as onomatopoeic.

squish ..--..-...----...

babble....

I didn't see a cow today...but I still have a few hours :)

And my contribution to the game: Squeak!

Edit: Wait, I didn't see a cow...but I saw a license plate that sad "MOOOOOO". :thumbsup:

Bang!

Smoother than Dr Slinky McVelvet, inventor of the word 'melifluous'!
