No, it's a word that sounds like the thing it is describing; for example "sizzle" or "zip". Damn, I've always loved that word....

I had a really eccentric English Teacher in high school who used to dollop out cool, obscure words every once in a while. I think it was an attempt to snap me out of my drug-induced haze. Either way, it worked, hah. And I can never remember how to spell it either...(disclosure, I had to google it...hehe)You are damn funny Foot!I'm not bored anymore.....but shame shame on you for google ing the word.What to do with you...........No probs
Sad and pathetic, I know.
A Greek and a Turk get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished, but, amazingly, neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the Greek sees the guy is wearing a T-shirt with Turkish written on it and says, "So you're a Turk. I'm a Greek. Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God. God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days."
The Turk replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God." The Greek continues, "And look at this. Here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of Retsina wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then he hands the bottle to the Turk. He agrees, takes a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the Greek. The Greek takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the Turk.
The Turk asks, "Aren't you having any?" The Greek replies, "No...I think I'll wait for the police..."
