I love words like this that sound exactly like what they describe. It's not onomatopoeia, but... it kind of is. Is there a word for that?
I don't know. But if I can find one it might be tomorrow's WOTD.
All I found was "imitative". Which I think does work here. But which is clearly not nearly as cool as onomatopoeia.
Hmm. "Imitative" does indeed look like that's the correct word, but it's just not quite as satisfying. I feel let down by you, English.
I can't think of a good synonym cuz I've never heard it before. I guess people just say: "they're arguing over something stupid" lol
Yeah that's a good point. I can't think of a one word synonym. Guess that means I should start using it. 😀
No, don't. They won't know what you mean lol. It really depends on the situation.
I'm with my grandchildren this week and I'm hearing a lot of brabble. Now I have a name for it. 😊
Brabble is such a cool word, that it makes it seems not so bad.
Luckily I never do anything like this.
