Aboiement




Aboiement, pronounced ab-bwah-MENT, is the involuntary blurting of animal noises, such as quacking or barking. Although it is not quite involuntary GB and I suffer from a mild form of aboiement, but then our duck noises are something to be beheld – or rather 'beheard' if there were such a word.

      The nearest thing to it is Donald Duck (with a British accent, of course). But you really won't weant to know. Most of the fsmily greet our sounds with something like "They're off again!"
