I remember when explaining what an onomatopoeia is, the teacher used "splat" as an example. And not just "splat", but the sound of something gooey hitting the ground. For some reason whenever I hear that word now that's what I think of. It just doesn't seem to fit.

How about "parroting Nguni"?

I used to know tons of these....I dunno why I can't remember 'em all. Dagnabit!
People ask me, "Radio, What is best in life?"
