Onomatopoeia at its best

Onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like what it means!

This cat is expressing how much she loves her food!  Yum yum!  So funny!  :-)

    Arf! Arf! and meow are not onomatopoeic.

    Dear Teacher I can only watch your videos here on your site. I read the vulgar Jealous hater comments on utube I speak my mind and I get in trouble. If I could email the powers at utube I would ask them to do something like pay you 10X for the agrivation I am drafting a letter. I hope you do not read the comments on utube they upset me I can only imagine what they do to you. PS Cats are my favorite People :smile:

    You’re wrong. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: That cat is expressing: Hey I’m eating! leave me the fuck alone, but is it funny to watch, You bet. :wink: :smile:

  • seesixcm6

    You made me watch the video again! Yes, the cat sounds like he’s saying “yum yum” in parts. Most of the time, I hear “Meow, meow, meow.” I still enjoyed the video!

  • pennsyltucky9

    Gotta agree with Vrock67 here. Anyone who has ever tried to
    a.) move the food, or
    b.) move the cat away from the food
    would find out soon enough that this is a territorial warning backed by a threat of physical violence and is intended for anyone or anything within earshot. At least until the plate is empty, that is. Makes me hungry, just the same, though. :smile: Bon appetit!

  • pennsyltucky9

    Cool Who tune, Vrock. What an awesome power trio. I got to see them once before Keith Moon passed on, and they were by far the loudest band I ever saw.

    Hey dsfoto, Marina has told us on a few occasions that she doesn’t let the rude comments get to her. She in a since has grown a thick skin to the rudeness. But she does need you to go to her YT site and watch the video, rate and make a nice comment. It boosts her ratings by people visiting her YT site. The ratings, viewings and comments is how YT puts her in the top most viewed and one of the best sites on YT. We don’t like them either. Marina tells us don’t feed the trolls “ie” leave a rude comment on YT as it could follow you back here. We go there and do what we can to help her status then come back here and have fun conversing with each other click on the adds which brings in revenue for her and oh yea try out the Forums section a lot of interesting things going on in the Forums. So enjoy the site have fun. :smile:

    I guess that’s why I like all of the CSI programs so much all of them start out with a Who song. :cool: Yea VR67 the cat is definitely pissed. :lol:

    Hey Kent Whaaaassssuuuuppp? How’s it been going? Never got to see The Who in concert, but have been to a Lynard Skynard and Steppen Wolf concert. What was so cool at the time, well we thought it was we were about 17 or 18 years old we had cups full of dried sand spurs and while the barefooted hippies or people walked around we would thump the sand spurs on the floor and watch them dance to the music. lol Mean little jokers we were at the time. :twisted: Peace bro. :smile:

  • originalistrick

    I have some SERIOUS catching up to do!

    Hi, Dearest Teach and Family! I CAN’T STAND being away from ya’ll that long. Missed ya’ll terribly. Marina, at a glance I see you’re still busy kicking ass and taking names. Leonard & Buzzword, thanks for thinking of me. I’ll be in touch-gotta watch the Horns now & then it’s BOOGITTY-BOOGITTY-BOOGITTY time.

    Can’t wait to get back in the groove with everybody. Love you, Marina!

    Always.

  • http://tour-russia.com dsfoto

    You are right and I shall continue to rate and comment at YT Frankly I don’t know how she does it. I will simply need to ignore and not read the haters. Just that they [infuriate] me not just their vulgar jealous rude comments but the total disrespect they have for everyone. I am not one to stand still and say nothing. So my alternatives are few I suppose I could Comment PoRusski they are to low brow to understand? :smile:

    My best cat evar would go nuts for Brewer Yeast tablets, these were giant tablets, she would just munch on it like a cat crunchy.

    Found out later it keeps the flees off of cats.

    I was immediately thinking of the Meow Mix theme song. It almost sounded like the cat was singing it at first… now that would have been quite a video.

    Hey pennsyltucky :grin:

    Didn’t have the fortune to see The Who in concert :sad: but that’s pretty cool you got to see them with Keith Moon before he passed on, He was a “lunatic” on them skins! :cool: Yeah for awhile there they were the kings at pushing those decibel levels, power was their game besides the excellent song writing. As far as the song “You better, You bet” I didn’t give that song a chance along with the other material they wrote during that time period. I guess i just thought they really “sold out” so I didn’t care much for that era. I always connected with their sixties and early 70′s period, songs like “Can’t Explain”, “Young Man Blues”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “The Seeker”, “My Generation” ect…. I could go on and on. Technically it was a little before my time, but that’s the influence of The Who. But I’ve been discovering that they’ve written some pretty good tunes from what I called their selling out phase and I’m re-discovering them. I just wanted to post it somewhere so I squeezed it in here. Take it easy p9 :cool: :smile:

    Hi Mike,
    How’s the knee coming along? I’m still looking for my dream job, no see-um.

    So you were the one chuckin’ sand burrs out onto the dance floor! Thought I recognized you.

    I used to hitchhike Interstate 95 quite a bit from age 17 to 21 or so because I loved the subtropics almost as much as I hated long winters. And I don’t come from a wealthy family, so I was on my own in terms of my entertainment expenses.

    I recall that it was certain death to get dropped off inside or along the Beltway, and it could also get pretty bleak out on the Piedmont if I wasn’t careful where I got let out. But once I got through the seaboard states and made it to southern Florida, things would get a bit easier for a weary vagabond.

    My friends at home used to razz me about my short hair and straight-laced appearance, “whattya trying to do, give us a bad name,” and stuff like that. But being a traveler out on the road in the South just seemed to give people the idea that I must be a hippie anyway and it sure made life unpleasant sometimes, no matter how I looked.

    Being on foot and in South Carolina or Georgia was sometimes a life-threatening experience because of the intolerance of folks. I had a guy shoot at me from a fast-moving vehicle with a shotgun loaded with slugs once. Punched a one-inch hole clean through the steel guardrail and ruffled the sleeve of my T-shirt as it went by. My ears rang for what seemed like hours, and because there wasn’t any traffic I ended up getting stuck all night there, staring at the horizon and wondering if or when they’d return to give it another shot.

    Fact was, I wanted to be there even less than they wanted me there. I was just trying to get somewhere. I only needed a ride out of there and they’d never see me again, most likely.

    Next morning I was taken to the county line by a patrol officer in a squad car. I showed him the big bullet hole. He said, “We’ve had some deaths out here,” and advised me to stay home next time I felt like taking a trip.

    Adventurous though I may have been, stuff like that eventually took the fun out of traveling.

    Seemed like a kind of cultural theme there, that it was hard to be a hippie (or anybody else, including a yankee) in the southeast in the sixties and seventies. Guess it made me a stronger person though (I run faster and hide better, mostly). :smile:

    Peace in your hood, Mike.

    -Kent

    In the face that kitty looks like our former cat ROCKY. Now Rocky just hangs around outside and waits for us to feed him. Sensitive and loyal-that is how I would describe Rocky the cat.

    Wikipedia says that onomatopoeic sounds differ across languages. It gives as example the sound of a clock: in English, “tick tock”; in Mandarin, “di da”; in Japanese, “kachin kachin”. (I wonder how Japanese represents the sound of a cash register.)

    I dimly remember a similar story about animal sounds. The cow was “bu bu” in some language (Japanese, I think) — not like English “moo moo”.

    Marina, I’m glad to see you don’t cut off comments on these old threads. It lets a Johnny-come-lately like me catch up.
