Hmmm. Should I blame thudds on Darksheare or claim it was onomatopoeia not a true spelling?

And why isn’t onomatopoeia spelled the way it sounds?

'Cause nobody knows how to pronounce it, and therefore nobody knows what it should sound like.

A thudd most often follows the words. “Hold ma beer ‘n watch this.”
