I think I usually do, and I wonder why.
I’m not talking about the ‘normal’ sound I make when I sneeze; I literally say the word “ah-choo”.
Same with “ouch”, sometimes shortened to “ow” if less severe.
I’ve even caught myself saying “burp” when I burp. Seems like the right thing to do, at least when alone.
mmm
Why yes, yes I do. Very strange. The other day I was riding in my husband’s truck with him, and I saw a friend pass by and I texted ‘beep’. I dont know why I did it. She’s still laughing.
Oftentimes I do, on both accounts. But only when I feel compelled to say something (like when I have a particularly long sneeze, or a b*tch of a pain).
I’ve been reading a lot of old Superboy comics, and the “things no one would ever really say” make some of them unintentionally hilarious.
My favorite is that a character would say (or weirder, THINK) “Oh, no, I’ll never >CHOKE!<** get over her…”
And they “said” this a lot. Aha-- found an example!
How are you supposed to hear that as dialogue? Now as an adult, I’m guessing it’d be a catch in the throat, but as a kid, I assumed DC writers had their characters making a >CHOKE!<** sound.
Sneeze: generally something like “ehhh-pfwew”. So sort of like “achoo”.
“Ouch”: Sometimes “ow” or “yow”. Othertimes … creative Anglo-Saxon word combinations.:o
Bah-ChuhoooOOOOooodammit.
Sneeze: aghhhhhoo
Pain: FUCK!
No on the sneeze. There’s no syllables I make, just whatever sneezing sound happens to come out. As for pain, it’s usually “Ow” followed by “sunnova” or “motherfucker” or “ah, shit” if it looks like medical attention may be needed.
Some people say “achoo”, probably because it’s culturally ingrained.
I had a Pakistani-American colleague who always said “hesh-oo” when he sneezed.
Guinea pigs tend to sneeze with a short “chuh” sound.
I used to sneeze really loudly. People would even comment on how loud it was. It was embarrassing. Now I say ‘ah-choo’ as a word, right before I sneeze. The sneeze comes out much softer that way.
Sneezing is just the sound of air rapidly being expelled. Chooo. With no vocals.
If I say anything when injured, it’s just a very bored, “Ow.”
I wonder if anyone says “a-tishoo,” the British sound effect for sneezing.
I’ve never really said “ah-choo” but “ow” and “ouch” I say most times I hurt myself. I guess it’s a cultural osmosis, because people from other countries say something similar but distinctly different. But it’s also an unconscious automatic response to certain stimuli. Why do we say “wow” when we’re amazed? Why do we say our go-to curse word of choice every time?
I k now people who, when suddenly shocked by something totally unexpected, who say “Oh . . . Em . . . Gee”.
I’ve never said achoo and don’t think I"ve said “ouch” as an expression of immediate personal pain, but I’ve said “ow” quite a bit.
My mom did it when she sneezed. The actual sneeze was the “a-” part, followed by her saying “choo”.
My sneezes are more like a mix of a small squeak and a drumbeat. It’s more of an impact sound. They almost never involve vocalization, and certainly not as “a-choo”. (My father, on the other hand, pretty much shouts, “ahSHOO”.)
I tend to hiss or gasp in response to pain, if I make an audible response at all. I only say “ow” or “ouch” when making light of some minor pain in the presence of others. It takes a conscious effort to verbalize when I need to tell others that I’m hurt and need a moment to deal with the pain and/or injury.
I don’t say anything at all when I sneeze, other than whatever sound the sneeze itself naturally makes.
The sound I make when I hurt myself is reasonably approximated by “Ow!”.
I think it’s awesome that she actually said “choo”. This is pretty much what I do, but the “choo” is the sneeze itself. The “ahh” is the pre-sneeze ramp-up.
mmm
When I sneeze, it is more like “ah-khun” with a guttural fricative, instead of a velar.
