Aspies For Freedom

I noticed there are certain words that sound like they mean.

For instance, you can't say the word enunciate without enunciating.

I know there are onomatopoeias like crackle or boom, but I'm thinking about the other words that aren't sounds themselves.

Anyone know any?

Sorry, not me.

I think it is because onomatopoeic words are supposed to be words made from the sound of, or made by, the named object/concept; like 'whisper', 'cuckoo' etc.

Thud!!

Oh, I know what an onomatopoeia is. But enunciate is not one. Just sounds to me like to have the word recognisable you need to specifically pronounce it. In my way of saying it, the 'e' at the beginning has an emphasis, as well as the 'un' and then the 'i' near the end.  Maybe you say it differently?

That word makes me think of the sound of someone's head hitting the floor.  It's funny the associations you make sometimes.

I was actually wondering if splash is one?  I'm not entirely sure.

I think so... I often say sploosh for splash. Sounds... splashy.
Is hiccup one? (  even if it is spelled hiccough?)
the word rumble sounds rummmmblee to me
er.. maybe I just like these words

Whoosh

And..Roar

Wow! that's cool, you do have to pronunciate to say enunciate.
