Word Nerds Love Onomatopoeias

If you’re a fan of comic boks, then there’s a good chance you have a thing for onomatopoeias, like “Whaam!” Although you won’t find this Roy Litchenstein print in your comic store since it’s hanging in the Tate gallery in London!

You might be the kind of person who likes to stop and smell the roses. Just don’t get too close to the BUZZ!

The Rice Krispie trio could also be dubbed the Onomatopoeia Mascots! My heros!

The next time you’re spending some quality time with a friend and a video game (you’ve given up on the great outdoors), and he or she angrily tells you to CLICK a button on the controller. Scream ONOMATOPOEIA! I mean, you are indoors so screaming random words is acceptable.

I’ll admit I’ve tried to make a few beats with my zipper. But then I realized people don’t make zipper song beats for a reason.

The next time you’re lying on the bearskin skin rug in front of your fire (ha! caught you), listen closely to the fire crackle.

The one onomatopoeia that actually scares me!

The next time you’re playing Kerplunk at game night, listen closely to the sound that the marble makes when it falls. Yep, that’s where the game got its name!

Even kitties know about onomatopoeias!
