And probably elicit a “bwa-ha-ha” from the intended victim of villainy!
That’s fine, if you speak Hawaiian. But the tendency will be to say "mua-hua-hua, which is just silly.
Yes, but do you twirl or stroke your moustache as well? Even if you don’t have one? If not, the effort is wasted.
I must admit, I don’t stroke my (non-existent) moustache, but I’m always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
And I’m pretty good at slinking around, although it closely resembles the Groucho Marx walk.
Holy Cow!!! :eek:
Hey! This is a serious thread. If you want to post nonsense, take it to…er…somewhere else.
And let’s not forget hoo-hah (one of those Yiddish terms so well used by the early Mad magazine), and yee-hah (a variant of the classic Rebel yell)…
And “hee hee ha ha”, used by my Turkish friend to encapsulate a whole evening’s carousing, or even an entire dalliance, into short form.
I’ve always thought the “bwa” of “bwa-ha-ha” was almost like a spit-take. Something funny that catches you so off guard so you don’t have time to open your mouth for a proper “ha ha”. It sort of explodes form behind your lips.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of “bwuuhhh?!”
I picture someone who has just been hit in the back of the head with a bat. Teeth flying.
Mwuahaha or its like = devilishly funny, simply devilish
Bwahaha = explosive laugh, possibly done mockingly at others humiliation, and if a beverage was currently being consumed, the kind of laugh that that could cause a spit-take.
