[oVo]

example:

She smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish.

Those are similes.

An ONOMATOPOEIA is "bam!" or "moo!" or "PIKACHU!"

[oVo]

Doink... you're right.

Doh!

[oVo]

Is cable the sound digital TV makes?
Shhh I hear something.

Cantonese for 'fart' is Fom-pay

[oVo]

Fom-pay sounds a bit extreme
