Get the Onomatopoeiamug. "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!)
