To express a sound using written language--as an onomatopoeia.
Since the discussion was over facebook chat, I simply onomatopoeiaized my disdain by typing "harumph!".

The noises people make when they're having sex.
BANG! CRASH! THUMP! SMASH! This is onomatopoeia.

A word that means "a word that's spelled like the sound it makes" but it usually is just said to sound more intelligent. Most people can't spell this word.
A- Gosh, you're so stupid...
B- ONOMATOPOEIA!

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

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!)

What happens when you urinate on your mother and then tell people about it.
"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!"
