Onomatopoeia
From Homestar Runner Wiki
An onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically resembles the sound it describes.
Commonly, onomatopoeic words are spoken aloud by Homestar Runner characters to describe actions they are taking; for instance, Strong Bad imitates the sound of instruments while pretending to play them. Onomatopoeias also appear in written form, such as in the comics Teen Girl Squad or The Total Adventures of Strong Badman.
