Words that sound like their meaning

[srebbe64]

Went for a walk with wifie in the snow this afternoon - very nice it was too! However, the wife said - this will all be slush in a day or two. It got me thinking, 'slush' is such an appropriate word for melting slow. It sounds right, if you know what I mean. So what other words are out there which sound right - a few that come to my mind are:

gulp
bounce
clap
thunder
scream

Or, maybe I'm just nuts!

Onomatopoeic words you mean?

Is that right? Ironically, 'onomatopoeic' isn't one!

So I'm not going mad then!

thup - the sound heard from that toilet tracing paper as your finger 'popped' through it as you tried to get a proper wipe.

You would have had to be at school when the cane and slipper were being used to understand wiping your botty with tracing paper.

Slightly bending the original idea, but I don't think any person could have been more appropriately named than Ned Ludd, the big farm hand simpleton who went around and smashed up machinery in the industrial revolution, and left the word Luddite as his legacy. Ned Ludd.

Shoeburyness - That warm comfortable feeling you get, when you sit down in a chair and it's still warm from the person before you.
