onomatopœia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. As such words are uncountable nouns, onomatopoeia refers to the property of such words.
e.g. Bang, Oink, Pow, Crash, Microwave

Probably the gayest word in the english dictionary. It is one of few words that has 4 vowels in succession. Wow isnt that amazing? But on the other hand it is when a word sounds the way it is spelt...
What a gay word
What a gay word
Hmmm this word doesnt sound like the way it is spelt...
Damien is a really big fuckin gay...
Damien sounds like 'Daymeeun'
Really sounds like 'Rirtly' (Sort of)
The way in which onomatopoeia is spelt sounds like 'uyfhgfdsffvgfgh'

words to describe sounds, often simple phonetic combinations of letters.
in japan, it's much more a serious thing, where hundreds of thousands of words are created for some of the most seemingly useless sounds ever, but then, it becomes fun, and even practical at points.
even actions recieve sounds, and states of being, suchas being complete exhausted (hetoheto), or expressing physically surprise (hatto), even when said actions make no sound.

The coolest type of onomatopoeias ever. They rarely ever sound accurate, which is cool.
