Example:
A- Gosh, you're so stupid...
B- ONOMATOPOEIA!
A- Nvm...

A- Boom!
B- Nice onomatopoeia use there.
A- OoooOooooOoooooOooo


Onomatopoeia
A word of Greek origin for "mimicry". Used by very posh and/or very old grammateachas.
Example:
"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!)
