Such devices bring out the full flavor of words. Comparison and association are sometimes strengthened by syllables which imitate or reproduce the sounds they describe. When this occurs, it is called onomatopoeia (a Greek word meaning name-making "), for the sounds literally make the meaning in such words as "buzz," "crash," "whirr," "clang" "hiss," "purr," "squeak," "mumble," "hush," "boom." Poe lets us hear the different kinds of sounds made by different types of bells in his famous poem "The Bells." His choice of the right word gives us the right sound when he speaks of "tinkling" sleigh bells; "clanging" fire bells; mellow "chiming" wedding bells; "tolling," "moaning," and "groaning" funeral bells.

You're going to argue with someone over root word based in his native language? :shakeshead

WHY is this thread at five pages?

[kellychaos]

It is one hot mess. I can tell you that much.

Sort of. The meaning of the word in the native context is irrelevant. I know full well what the roots of the word mean, but that doesn't necessarily equate to what the word itself means in modern English. Hell, "cynical" comes from the old Greek word for "Dog," but if someone told me that it could be used to refer to dogs in the abstract just because this is so, they'd be full of crap.

Still, Helm is dead right in his point that the beauty (?) of language/linguistics is that it can be debated endlessly with no one ever really being proved or disproved right or wrong ("the sophist's playfield," which I thought was a brilliant expression). The only time anyone's ever truly "right" in language is if you're in school and someone's grading you, and even then it's just playing along.

Personally, I'd have been more apt to use the word "neologism" where Helm went for "onomatopoeia," but opinions are like Jixbys.

If that's you modeling the popnko jerseys on the front page of that site, you are in NO position to challenge anyone's gender, Judy.

So, wait, you've been here long enough to have a cynical bastard shirt and know about my site, but you still haven't caught on that I go out of my way to look feminine?

Are you sure you passed your initiation?

Ninja made me lol

[Helm]

Wait though, I don't get it. You know about his website and the stuff on it and how it makes sense and interelates to here and you've not idea about his on-board persona at all? I mean, your retort was adequately dismissive, but don't be a fag.

[Anonymous]

Plus now my feelings are hurt.

Oh, THAT Varg. The name means 'wolf', so I was wondering what the hell he meant by wolves stabbing me. It's been a while since he was in the media, so I kinda forgot about him.

[Helm]

hey pjalne do you like emperor

[pjalne]

I like some of it. But I find myself listening more to Swedish stuff like Opeth.

[Helm]

Opeth are ok for one album. I didn't expect you to care for this sort of music, I asked for a joke since you're norwegian and you must be sick about hearing foreigners go 'OMG FROM THE LAND OF DARKTHRONE!!!1'

[pjalne]

Yeah, it happens, but not to the point where it's really annoying. The fact that the country is relatively small is more of a problem, since everyone who has ever known everyone from Norway practically assume you'll know everyone.
