This came out of discussion IRL. Edited to say; not your own, if you've got any!

I wouldn't say "poit" -- is it possible that sounds different to you than me?
 
Like "point" but without an 'n' in. Nabiki does it to Ranma in the first volume...
 
'Poit' is the noise that things make when they disappear in the Cerebus graphic novels. It's also the noise that [livejournal.com profile] grahamb used to insist my nose made when poked. Breasts went 'Haaaaaal-lelujah!' (in the style of the Hallelujah Chorus).

I tend to find that people object to having their breasts abruptly squeezed, sound-effects or no.
 
I mean, in a context where doing so is not automatically a faux pas.
 
Even so... I've normally found a less aggressive approach pays dividends. But maybe you date different sorts of women.
 
Uh... generally the dividends have been paid at this point, as it were.
 
> Point

Yes, that's how I was going to ask if it was.

Hmmm. I would have thought "bwort" or "bweep" or "pink" depending on size. And probably sounding either electronic, or wind-instrument-y...? I must investigate further.

In the original it's ぷにぷに [puni puni], incidentally.
 
That seems plausible.

No, really. I went and looked in my Ranma vol 1 :-)

(Akane with long hair looks kind of weird looked back on from 30 odd volumes of short-haired Akane...)
 
Oh, I believe you; Puni Puni Poemi's got "puni puni" in.

I wouldn't say poit poit.
A deeper honking perhaps[1].


[1] That sounds rude!

Having a naturally large-breasted wife but a naturally small-breasted girlfriend, I am puerilely delighted by the increase in breast size that comes with the pregnancy of the latter.

H00ray for b00bies!

Pregnant breasts are great! Breastfeeding breasts continue the fabulous trend :)

But do they go poit poit? Shamelessly enquiring minds want to know.

I don't think so, but Charles has made some very amusing noises getting his face on and off them. More farty than poity.

Seconded on that - the [livejournal.com profile] garklet is already very capable of eliciting such noises from [livejournal.com profile] ias. I think that I might get walloped if I tried to squeeze her breasts at the moment, sound effects or not...

This is surely inadvisable for spectacle-wearers.

only the small, perky kind. big ones are for sticking your face between and making motorboat noises.
 
posted by [identity profile] damerell.livejournal.com at 02:11pm on 11/12/2006
Y'know, there's no rule against doing both things...
 
posted by [identity profile] siani-hedgehog.livejournal.com at 02:14pm on 11/12/2006
but big ones don't go "poit". they go "a-oooo-ga". and small ones aren't as effective for motorboat noises.

Clearly we need to round up as many as we can for research purposes.

this is why whitby was created.

So kind of you to assist in this project at Laughtons (although, not to be constantly whining, wait until I'm around next time. :-)

always happy to oblige. :P i'm still curious about why i had my tits out at laughton's, though.

Ah, are we looking for a more complex answer than "boozahol" here?

mm there is a good pub in whitby just over the bridge ;)

No, seriously. Have I corrupted you? You didn't mention "a natural urge" when we first met! I'd got the impression that that wasn't just for the, well, obvious reasons.

I used to be breasts-curious.

Not enough to end up without "ready access"; I've only got one of those.

No editorials in the quiz, Damerell.

If you're "poit poit"ing your own I shall be very surprised.
 
posted by [identity profile] kludge.livejournal.com at 03:23pm on 11/12/2006

When faced with breasts, do you have a natural urge to squeeze them and make "poit poit" noises?


...I maintain that the phrase "natural urge" may constitute some kind of spin in the question.

You may read "Satanic unnatural urge" if you like.

Squeezing yes, but not the noises. It's hard to make clear consonants with something in the way.

I must admit, to my shame, I just figured this out.

Poit Poit?

I had always imagined the asthmatic honking of a prewar car horn. It's a round thing and you squeeze it, I dunno... With pert breasts, there's the tinny sound of the horn on a Mini Cooper.

Some of the more uplifting (nay... overwhelming) specimens on display at B-Movie make the stately and majestic sound of an Ocean Liner's foghorn.

I occasionally get the urge to twiddle them and go "Stockholm-Motala, Stockholm-Motala" in a silly voice. Just as if you were tuning a radio in Sweden, ca 1930.
