Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is figure of speech where the word sounds like the thing that it is describing.  For example, 'BOOM' 'cuckoo', or the 'bee buzzzzes'.  Allegory, double entendre, oxymoron and metaphor are other figures of speech, but none have the impudence of onomatopoeia. See more about Onomatopoeia!
