onomotopaeia

When the pronounciation of a word sounds similar to the noise the word describes.

Sizzle sounds like the noise something makes when it sizzles, and is therefore an onomotopaeia. Other examples of this would be words like ding, moan, or chirp.

Onoway

A small town located in central Alberta. 90% of albertans don't know about it. You usually end up dating a cousin unintentionally due to the fact that we're all related. The potters, bourkes and dales made the town what it is. You either dip or smoke weed. There is always a constant battle between the skids and preps.

You pack a fatty and get bitches? You must be from onoway.

Onoway probs is an actual hashtag due to the fact that it is used so much.

onomatopagative

A combination of onomatopia and an adjective, it describes a quality of something at the same time denoting a sound that is associated with that quality, object, or person.

"Wow, did you see that silver Corvette, it was like VROOOM!" (VROOM would be the onomatopagative in this case)

onology

specifically used at the end of the technical term "Pass It Onology"

Which basically is defined as "the art of being comfortable in being ones true self and giving that confidence to others just by being yerself"

I graduated from the School of Feel The Love and Rock On with a degree in Pass It Onology. I am proud of this because I know it means I finally have the confidence enough to be myself and through seeing my confidence, others have the confidence to be themselves as well no matter what others think of them afterwards.
