<DIV class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New"><SPAN> The meaning,
or 'category, of onomatopoeia is straight-forward -- sounding like the
meaning - but the occurrences have interesting twists and flavors.
</SPAN>Encarta lists ‘buzz’ as an example of onomatopoeia – imitating the sound
of the action. On background, Shakespeare had coined the term ‘buzzer’ (noun
form), but he’d used it to refer to people who were gossips (the Oxford American
Dictionary attributing the root word to the Middle English term “busse” --
imitation – hence Shakespeare’s “imitators” or “copyers” of what they’d heard).
But the suggestion (in Shakey’s use of the term -- assumably) refers not only to
the literal meaning, but to the “buzz” that is created in the immediate
environment of gossiping – akin to bees buzzing, or muted, hushed whispers about
“Did you hear about…”. <SPAN> </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
