I think I’ve used the word once in a post (or maybe just an email… I don’t really remember), but that’s because I like that it makes me ponder the brilliance of squeegees. How could anyone not like such a thing? Those puppies are _meant_ for little more than our giggly amusement. ::: SQUEE!! ::: ---

Squeee!!! makes for a nice variation from the overused “I’m coming!” ---

[QUOTE=Eutychus] It is also what you say when you see JTHM climbing through your bedroom window for the first time. [/QUOTE] What do you say the second time? I’d never heard of “JTHM” before this thread, but from what I’m reading, it doesn’t sound like there’d _be_ a second time. [QUOTE=Baldwin] Now that I know some of the background. . . I think my prejudice has actually deepened. Truly a moronic bit of pop-culture slang. [/QUOTE] I think it’s very useful. It … errrm … tells you a lot about the poster. Note carefully neutral language. ---

I’m going to have to re-think “squee!!!” I’d thought of it as a dolphin sound. An excited, vertical leaping dolphin sound. \ As you can see, I don’t post a lot, and probably wouldn’t have bothered posting this–why interrumpt a nice discussion of giggly girls, comics and sling with dolphins? But, I need help. What’s the term for “visualize” when it’s auditory? I wanted to say I’ve always “visualized” squee as the sound a dolphin makes. But I couldn’t think of the right word for to express the concept. Thanks. \ ---
