How would you spell the way you sneeze?

Asked by Jeruba (56032points) January 7th, 2019

Come on, let’s have a graphic rendition, phonetically. Nearest approximation will do.

My hay-fever sneezes are pretty controlled: Ckkh! Ckkh! When I have a cold, they’re kind of more crashing.

My husband emits great splashy sneezes: Kzheh-KZHASHK-yeh! Wowee. Makes me want an umbrella.

My grandfather used to go Hitch! Hitch! in the middle of the night.

And I used to work with an old guy who went Ha-SHWEEZ!—the last part sounding like a high-pitched whistle. He did one of those every morning around 9:00. My boss said, “That’s Mr. S’s morning prayer.”

 

Tags as I wrote them: sneezes, phonetics, sound effects, novelty, grapefruit.

I need to sneeze so I can hear it. Quick! where’s the pepper?

AHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHH CHAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

They can hear me three states over. I finally, in my 30s, realized I can’t do anything about it, so I’m not embarrassed anymore.

@canidmajor, so you wouldn’t be interested in a book entitled How to Change the Way You Sneeze? I’ve always secretly hoped to see that title in the self-help section. I’d have liked to give a copy to Mr. S.

^^ Self-help book titles:

“Change Your Life, Change Your Sneeze”

“How to Win Friends and Sneeze Differently”

“What Color is Your Sneeze?”

“Sixty Days to a Better Sneeze”

“The Power of Positive Sneezing”

Some words are inherently funny, don’t you think? “Sneeze” is one of them.

And think of all the other “sn-” words that have related meanings.

I usually start mine with “Haa!” Perhaps it would sound like “Haa tzeee! Haa tzee!”. I let my throat run wild while I do that and it ended up becoming much louder.

Pachu, pachu. My wife says my sneezes sound like a sci-fi laser.

I’m not falling for this again Jeruba, if I answer innocently then a mod comes and steal my words away:

Sneeze is on·omatopoeic. I spell it s n e e z e.

I saw Robin Hood, Men in Tights yesterday. Just sayin’.

When my daughter sneezed she was soo dainty that the “chew!” part was like a rising high musical note.
