    Quoted from kidfresh:

    And you would be wrong. Thwapp? seriously. Don't think so. Knock is closest or maybe wrap, Hence the term knocker, not thwapper. And its spelled spectrogram. Onomatopoeia coming from Oak Hill, VA is like french cuisine coming from Bentonville, Arkansas. Nice try though. Next you're going to describe the spelling of the the sound of snoring as zzzzzzzzzzhhhh. Bottomline is there is sometimes no speling for sounds heard in nature. But thwapp is not even close. Good day sir.

    Who peed in your Wheaties this morning? Do you even know where Oak Hill, VA is located? It happens to be an area having one of the highest percentages in the country of college educated people. I really don't see the point of what you said.

    Also, if you want to criticize where people live, then why don't you contribute by including your location in your profile. Otherwise you are just a troll taking pot shots.
