Onomatopoeia


Onomatopoeia (occasionally spelled onomateopoeia or onomatopœia, from Greek ονοματοποιία) is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as "click," "clang," "buzz," or animal noises such as "oink", "flap", "slurp", or "meow".

Some onomatopeoia's themselves derserve their rightful place on this here list, but they'll just have to wait their turn. Take a number "fizz" and "quack".

Side note - "Moist" is NOT an onomatpoeia no matter how many times Business might try to tell you it is. Don't believe her falacies.
