Thread Name: What Does Valderi, Valdera Mean?
Subject: RE: What Does Valderi, Valdera Mean?
It seems that Wilfred Schaum has given up on us because he is the only one who knows what onomatopoeia means.

Kinda reminds me of the time when I was in Teheran and my boss liked a local delicacy called donbalon. Which is sheep's ball kebabs. I suggested that the word was onomatopoeic because sheep don't wear Y fronts. I could imagine an old ram strolling along going donbalon balon balon.

But by the time that I had explained what onomatopoeia means the point of the joke was lost.
