Almost onomatopoeia

[AG31]

There are some words that just seem so right for what they refer to, without being onomatopoeiac like cuckoo or sizzle. Can you think of any?

Here are my first offerings

smegma - what got me thinking about this

glass - just so smooth and sharp at the same time

I tossed "fuzzy" around for a while. I decided it bordered on onomotapoeiac, even though there's no sound involved.

I've always thought of sizzle as an onomatopoeia

 

[StillStunned]

Granola
Kerchief
Spittle

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Ocean
Breeze
Pulse

It's also in HOW you say 'em. Exaggerate the 'sh' sound in Ocean ('ossshun') for example.
