Ah! Suddenly the court case makes sense...

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.
