Dave Barry said that Eisenhower was nicknamed "Ike" from a sound that his friend Sir Winston Churchill made just before pitching face-first into his food at a dinner party.

It has to be true because the image is so hilarious. "Ike!"

It's the actual word for the sounds your stomach makes. Try burping it.

Sorry!

It really is a great word to burp, which is a thing I generally dislike.

lol sorry, I apologise a lot. I meant, "sorry I didn't include the definition in the first place because I'm a doofus".

"Veet" is the sound small ground mammals use to assert sole claim to a shiny object.

i like "splortch" as a more robust "squish," and it's so phonetically dense that it brings erotica to a grinding halt (e.g., "his member prodded her labia with a reaffirming splortch")

"clunk" is the sound made by your aged discolored gate key that just fell from your freezing fingers into the deeper-than-you-thought puddle with the drowned worms in it.

Escape From Noise

Japanese, especially in Kansai for some reason, uses a ton of onomatopoeia. It cracks me up sometimes how broadly it can be used.

Zaazaa is the sound of heavy rain. People will just say that sound in a sentence to indicate heavy rain.

Korokoro is the sound of a small item, such as a pencil, rolling. A large item, such as a log is gorogoro and can be used to say just like laying around the house doing nothing.

Gachan is the sound of something slamming.

Gachagacha is the sound of like clattering and pon is like a slapping or popping sound so those capsule toy machines are called gachapon.

I'm really tired, and confused an onomatopoeia with a palindrome for a minute, and read through the first couple of posts thinking "wow those are really impressive!" then I looked back when things weren't adding up at all and was like "wait, no, I got it now". lol

I have always thought "sleet" might be onomotopoeic in origin, from the sound it makes falling on leaves
