onomatopoeia

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

onomatopoeia

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
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'
