Poink
Pthonk: n, the sound made by a unique combination of a nosebleed and shame. Often heard in rapid succession.
I struggled for a while trying to think how to type it. Donk was my first one to go to but it didn't evoke that hollow part of the noise when it hits you
*PWOMM*
A trackpoint to sit on. Lovely Thinkpad merch!
I got a refurb Thinkpad T495s at a business sale, and I was astonished to realize they still have the nipple mouse
I mean, it is pretty fun to play with the uhm … nipple … mouse.
CLIT MOUSE LOL
even the new ones still have it! I honestly couldn't imagine buying a laptop without a nipple mouse
there are a few non ThinkPad laptops with a mouse button or as you call it a nipple mouse
And 3 mouse buttons! Perfect for X11.
I absolutely love the nipple. I wish more keyboards had it. I have a decent mouse, however if I had a reasonably priced mechanical keyboard with a nipple it would be brilliant.
Is this an american thing
It reminds me of a game called "Völkerball" we have here in Germany. I suppose that is our equivalent to dodge ball, which I think this is in reference to.
I need to fresh up some memories here. Have you played it only after sports classes "just for fun" and have you played it with a so called "medicine ball" which made like this sound when hitting someone on the tighs or stomach: "PHHTHUMPBUMP" where the last BUMP is from the echo the impact made through the sports hall? All I know is I hated it the same as being a keeper in handball.
I'd say that if it was a bullet...
They're for dodgeball, so that's basically what they are. We play dodgeball to prepare us for the rest of the day dodging bullets.
PANG
Thats the correct onomatopoeia!
"Thonk" was more like what the foam ones did. These were more of a "Poinnng" with hard attack on the P.
To my ears they go kinda peemph
I'd write thampf
When it hit you in the face, it's more of a "ping"...
You can't feel or smell a picture
I can feel that picture approaching my face at mach 0.7.
I only know the noise of one bouncing off a small kid's face.
And that small kid was me.
POOMF
amiga ball is what i hear
Thoink*
Came here to onomatopoeia this.
P'TONG
haha shit that brings back memories
idk what that is
Dodgeball
It's a ball... Is this something American again?
There is no way I can accurately convey the sound these balls make in text or even vocally. It's that unique.
