Onomatopoeia found at PBG!

[teelack 9,640]

The GF and I ate there a few nights ago and she chose item 302 on the PBG menu. I have to admit that we haad a bit of a luugh at the name of the item but when it arrived she offered me a spoonfull. Now recall that this item is on the Esarn page of the menu and purely without thinking when I swallowowed this spicy concoction I came out with, "Fuck You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Normally, it's a clear vegetable soup ...

"On a mat a pee a' is what we sniggered at in mock Italian.

 

 

Of course this funny thread isn't an example of 'onomatopoeia'

 

Rather an example of a 'homophone'

 

Still funny though.

Excellent!

When I first saw the menu listing, I thought it might be lizard in view of the very distinctive call of a rather large, ugly lizard in Isaan.

Can I suggest that you have to look at English not only from a dictionary point of view but also from context. In view of the context of the yarn I think that I used the correct word.

Sorry Teelack

 

'Fakkhue'.......Does indeed 'sound like' "Fuck You' so we know what you're getting at and it's funny But as Fuck doesn't 'sound' like any sound connected with the act of sex it therefore isn't onomatopoeic to begin with.......whatever the context.

 

Fakk and Fuck are homophones.....spelt differently but sound alike. 'Hue', 'You'..... and one you'll know well , (but not too well I hope) 'ewe' are homophones too.

 

Onomatopoeic words sound like a...' sound'......Cat's meow.......Cow's Moo....Dog's 'Woof'

 

A few months back I read Sherlock Holm's, 'The Case of the 5 Orange Pips'... In it, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle states, rightly or wrongly, that the entomological origin for: "Klu Klux Klan' is onomatopoeic, in that the, 'Klu Klux' represented the sound of the cocking of a rifle.

 

It would mislead people to say that words that, 'only' sound like other words are onomatopoeic. Words that sound like other words are called, 'Homophones'

 

Anyway you got better to do than bother with this......You're on holiday! .......And have a trip report to right?.. err.... write!!

yes good one.......When we tell the time in Thai, from 7pm till 11pm.......they use 'Tum'...Nung Tum, Song Tum etc.....The 'Tum' is the sound of a loud gong beating the time. After midnight it they used a smaller gong or maybe a triangle making the sound tee..So, 1 a.m is 'nung tee'!

 

The Thais use onomatopoeia a lot.

 

Though calling Pork 'Moo' I found very confusing.
