#10. The ONOMATOPOEIA Update


EXAMPLES:


"Tabitha Moss is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."
"Becky Bosher is ARGHHHH!!!!!!"
"Emmett Diller is Brrrrrrrrrrr!"

There you go. Let it out. Sometimes nothing captures a feeling like a sound. People use the Onomatopoeia update when "is so tired" or "is so annoyed" just won't cut it. Facebook is all about telling everyone how you feel, and sometimes leaning on a single key does the trick. Not only does it tell people how you're doing, but it can be literally therapeutic to just slam out a "grrrrrrrr" or a "brrrrrr" or an "ackkkk!!!!"

And if you think about it, there's hardly a feeling you can't sum up with the Onomatopoeia update. Happy: "LaLaLaLaLa!!" Sad: "Booooooooo!!" Pissed: "Ugggggggghhhh!!"

Got a good example? Post it in the Comments section.
