What is the word for the sound a snowflake makes when it hits the ground?
What is the word for the noise you make when you (I don't even know how to say this) violently inhale/clear the nose just before expectorating?
What is the word for the sound made when you put on starched clothing? (I know you know what I mean.)
What is the word for the sound of a drop of water droppped into a pot of boiling oil? Onto a hot frying pan? (Think of your answer, then do it and see if your word is anywhere close).
I think there are lots of these and we just never think about them.
What is the word for the sound of a roll of toilet paper rolling?
Describe the smell of an onion in one word. The way velvet feels. You can write a paragraph, or maybe a sentence, but is there a word that captures the essence of the meaning? Like,"dog" is "dog".
BTW, what is the opposite of "nomad"? |
