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!)

"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!"

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
Phil: What is your favourite onomatopoeia?
Dan: 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'
