   it’s odd how animal noises are different in different languages. In uk english dogs go *woof* I’m guessing *voff* is the noise they make in swedish?

   phonetic sounds from different cultures for different animals. there used to be a site with audio recordings of the people saying them as part of a study but i can’t find that at the moment.

   Oh… I know the feeling. It’s kind of a moodkiller when you really want to stay indoors and sexorcise as well.

   Well, it only makes sense that, even aside from varying phonetics, the onomatopoeia are going to be somewhat different. After all, dogs have a large “vocabulary.” Is the “sound a dog makes” in English “Woof?” Or is it “bow-wow?” “Buhroo?” “AooOooOOOooooOO!” “Yip?” “Ein!” when the mailman kicks the neighbor’s awful little guard-chihuaha away?

    I believe that stomping on a chihuahua produces something like “Ip! krsch..”
