the onomatopoeias

A mood characterized by various expressions of unhappiness, frustration, or melancholy best summed up by onomatopoeias, or words that imitate their sounds. Exclamations one might make while in such a mood: "Grr!" "Rawrr!" "Ugh!" "Ahh!"

Person 1: "How are you doing?"
Person 2: "Arghhhhhhh!"
Person 1: "You've got a bad case of the onomatopoeias, eh? Sucks. Hope you feel better."
