Onomatopoeia 

A word of Greek origin for "mimicry". Used by very posh and/or very old grammateachas.
"The ancient Greeks thought that all words originated from the sounds of things, so they invented a new word - onomatopoeia - which sounds just like a load of old waffle."

So, has anyone heard the sound of "hush" "silence" "il silencio"?

And, if the pope is a primate, what sounds does he make?

(No offence intended - good geeza!)

onomatopoeia 

What happens when you urinate on your mother and then tell people about it.
"Yesterday got really weird. It was Thanksgiving. And, I'm Italian. So, I had a lot of vino to drink with the ol' family. And then, before I knew it, I made an 'onomatopoeia.' Em-barrassing!"
