From the satisfying “achoo” of a solid sneeze to the still more satisfying sounds of the big “o” of orgasm (or the far more creative sounds you probably make), we’ve all got our favorite onomatopoetic ejaculations.

Homer Simpson’s “d’oh” has become part of the lexicon. We’ve all said it.

“Eek” a mouse, and “huh?!” why did you say “eek?” could be the start of a full evening’s conversation.

For a teenage boy, or a boy of any age for that matter, what’s better than the hearty “brrrahppp” of a fart?

I had this “aha!” moment while casting about for story ideas.

What if a bunch of imaginative writers were asked to contribute a favorite SOUND?

So … please just spell out your favorite sound in the comments and press “reply.”

It’ll zing its way to me.

Then we’ll see what’ll happen next.

Guaranteed — it’ll be fun and “relational.”

Yippee!

BTW — If you’re not tagged but want to contribute, please do.
