Does anyone else have a better spelling?

Dagonee recently used this spelling in this thread and Teshi commented that it was the best spelling.

I just used it in another thread. I didn't cite Dags as the source, though. But, unless someone has a better way, I've decided that from now on, I'm going to spell it that way. Yet, I still want Dag to have the credit. So, anyone have a better suggestion? If not, this is the way I'm spelling from now on.

If you sound it out loud ( [Blushing] ) that's the only sound it produces.

How do you spell that sound that cartoon characters in the 70's made when they ran in place before taking off?

Sounds like Bill the Cat.

When I say it (and when my daughter "says" it), it sounds like "Pththththththbbbbb!"

Maybe I just have a speech impediment, ever think of that? [Razz]

Absolutely. Bill Waterson is a genius with onomatopia.

Wouldn't you say the spelling varies from person to person? I mean, everyone's raspberry is a little different.

I, for example, begin with a p sound, thusly:

pppppbbbbbbbbblllllltttttttttttt

The t is actually after a short period, it's actually representing the "plop" sound, given that most of us live in modern countries with toilets.

The sad part is, people actually say that.

If you want to improve America's image, screen tourists before they're allowed to visit foreign countries.
