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

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'
