No offense, Zhyard (or anyone else in the same boat), but that sort of thing is the reason I gave up trying to learn German; "head-medicine-sales-building" or "pharmacy".

I really wish onomatopoeia was an onomatopoeia.

An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes.
Moose does not refer to a sound and is thus not an onomatopoeia.

Segue should be spelled segway. Why isn't it spelled segway?

Re: What is the fakest sounding real word/name you can think of.
The trombone (an odd word in itself) apparently evolved from an instrument called the sackbutt.
Yeah. SACKBUTT.
Actually I think it's more accurately "sackbut"; although "sackbutt" is apparently an officially recognised spelling. But then again so is "sagbutt", so who knows.

I'm getting a flash back of the Simpsons episode where Troy McLure puts on a musical version of the planet of the apes. But in my mind he's replacing Dr. Saeus (spelling?) with onomatopoeia

I remember my nan trying to teach me to spell banana when I was very young. I swear she ended up saying. To this day I'm convinved that she BSOD'd
I know of a few real sounding ones myself:
[b]Cloffing[\b] - not real, but it should be (it's a made up swear word by Fry & Laurie)
[b]Croggy[\b] - real, colloquial English (if you can call it that) from round these parts, meaning to offer somone a ride on your bike while you peddle, perched on or above the cross bar
[b]Peddle[\b], [b]Poodle[\b], [b]Doodle[\b] and [b]Noodle[\b] - I don't know why, but the 'ddle' sound has always fascinated me. I don't know the phobic name for it, but not everyone pronounces it. Some people pronounce the d's and le part seperately.

I spell it "Theodor Geisel" (S-e-u-s-s)

Why it's OODLES of fun (it is a fun, appealing-sounding...phoneme?)
