Now I don't feel so bad. I ran right off and checked the definition before voting.
| [reply] |

So did I, but I typed it into Google before going to a proper dictionary site. The first link was to BrainyDictionary.com, which gives the defintion "An imitative word; an onomatopoetic word.", which helps a great deal.

Hey! Where is chomp?
Ciao! --bronto
The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).

What about shebang? Also gobble (what greedy regexen do).

I voted 'vroom' because without the 'vroom' I probably wouldn't know nearly as much about the other choices. | [reply] |

Quite a few of these aren't really onomatopes in any strict sense of the word, but almost all of the ones that don't fit into that category might reflect what some people call a "phonosemantic" aspect. (See Margaret Magnus' dissertation as well.) Magnus (borrowing from Humboldt) would say that words like whirl, rip, and hiccup are iconic, but not onomatopoeic. </pedantry>

I had 'slurp' selected, but as I was gazing upon the remainder of the options, I actually hiccupped (before I saw the 'hiccup' option!). I then saw the 'hiccup' option and was forced to change my vote to 'hiccup'. I mean, it had to have been meant to be, right? :)
