Onomatopoetic justice

[BruisedOrange]

Anticipating a special season filled with great plays, big wins, and recruiting coups... is it time to de-sanction "Boom!" as a legitimate, Vol-worthy, single-worded post?

Just askin'.

And, yes, I know what will inevitably follow. (Cue Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture...)

 

[Smoked Cheddar]

So you think most on here know the reference to the 1812 overture? Neat.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Big words are evil.

Dude, I only speak hickaneese.. My head hurts..

BOOM! GoVols!!

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Bruised, so you mean....huh?

Okay, I'm drawing it out on a piece of paper.

Nope, I still don't get it. Man, you are too smart for me.


p.s. I bruised my mouth trying to sound out the title.

Big words are evil.

John Prine wrote a song entitled Onomatopoeia. That makes it righteous.

A lot more than would know what onomatopoetic means.

 

[VolinMC]

I can't even spell it so I'll just say" that word that feller said!"

Hope we don't see a season filled with orthopedics . :no:

 

[Grand Vol]

Wrong thread?

Boom succinctly describes the sound in my head when great things happen. It will be hard to find a one-word onomatopoeia that portrays the expression as accurately.

Hmm...

So you think I shoulda gone with "late '60s Quaker Oats Puffed Rice commercial jingle?"

Potato/potahto.

Hmm...

Your head does sound effects?! COOL!

'Bout all I get is that vague echo of wind whistling through an empty attic.

Love Prine.

 

[montanatenn]

Love Prine.

Sam Stone. BOOM.

 

[Special Ed]

Tchaikovsky, Schmaikovsky!
Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries is much more appropriate when the Vols take the field.
Ride of the Volkyries anyone?

I love the smell of Orange in the morning.

 

[TN Outlaw]

psssssssssBOOM? There a new omn(clears throat)poetic word.

 

[gobraves101035]

Can't lie, the title scared me a little bit. Gosh this season can't get here soon enough. I absolutely can't wait until the night we beat florida, volnation will be going crazy and there will be numerous intoxicated people on volnation partying all night long. Everyone take a sunday shot for it being less than 2 weeks away from Medley booting the ball off the tee.

I have to say, using a single word post of "Boom!" is far easier than what traditionally runs through my head when I see a play like when Hurd trucked that UGA defender or Barnett crushed the NW QB. I mean, typing "boom!" was far easier than typing the following:

"HOLY FREAKIN ****BALLS! BARNETT JUST WAYLAID THAT NORTHWESTERN QUARTERBACK INTO FREAKIN NEXT WEEK! GOOD GRIEF, THAT'S A PURE BEAST OUT THERE VISITING DESTRUCTION ONTO THAT HAPLESS TEAM!"

Or "boom" for short.

I agree, except I prefer "Boomin in my jorts"

OP seems like the kind of guy that would buy you a thesaurus for Christmas in the 90's.

Thought that was you. I heard you re-gifted it to a cousin at Bama as a graduation gift. Now he's using it to tilt the cooler so the water runs out the trailer window.

Every year I try to use something from those required classes in Lit and Fine Arts I paid good money to take.
Onomatopoeia--check. Tchaikovsky--check. Well, that covers me for 2016! :thumbsup:

Great scene. I wonder how it would play for recent generations who never saw the movie?

"Charlie don't surf!"

 

[LeBleu]

The stuff composed for the original conan movie is starting to grow on me, with football/3rd downs approaching.
