Onomatopentameters
Onomatopentameter
=================
Onomatopentameters are words that when spoken make drum beats or some other cool musiclike pattern. The words themselves sound like the different drums in a trap set or a drum machine but the words themselves also make some kind of sense when put together as opposed to just patterns of onomatopoea. Here are some examples (and jokes).
Big Cat Little Cat
------------------
Old man: "Punk music is all about cats."
Young punk: "No way old man, it's about drugs and dirt and spikes."
Old man: "Then why are the drums always like - big cat little cat, big cat little cat?"
Boots Pants
-----------
Merican Guy: "Hey bro, take me to a club, I wanna pick up some chicks."
Italian Cab: "Ohkay, I take you to a dah nice place, eh? Ohkay."
...
Italian Cab: "Ohkay-ah we arr-a here."
Merican Guy: "Oh yeah? What kind of club is this?"
Italian Cab: "You know - BOOTS, PANTS, BOOTS, PANTS, BOOTS, PANTS, BOOTS, PANTS!"
Merican Guy: "Ah crap, you mean they have a dress code?"
Italian Cab: "Nooo, nooo - it'sa house music - BOOTS, PANTS, BOOTS, PANTS! Eh?"
Push the Cat, Never Tickle the Cat
----------------------------------
I can't think of a joke for this. But you should probably never tickle the cat.
