Nope. Sorry.

I can't find any other definition for onomatopoeia in any online or print source than "words for sounds." This isn't necessarily true on other languages that use those roots, mind you, but just because you say it doesn't make it true.

As for jargon, I might give you that one because of the subdefinition of the word that involves "convoluted phrasing," but there's nothing philosophical about that context, nor did I use any "jargon" in the context you referred to(words specific to a discipline), so you still missed the mark.

B minus, at best.

Also, I'm thinking of "crapsack" or "fuckstain" as my consonant-heavy signature phrase. They might not be Pulitzer material, but at least it's more imaginative than "fag."
