The sounds… of pain

November 17, 2007

A while back, I ran across Nad Shot, which is a blog about comics featuring men getting kicked in the ‘nads. You’d think this would get boring after a while, but it never does: there are so many ways to depict a boot to the groin.

Here, for your reading pleasure, are the words that have been used to describe a nad shot, going back as far as October 10th of this year. Note that these sound effects describe the shot itself, not the recipient’s reaction to it.

WHUD!
PHHT
PLATCH
SKLONSH
FUMP
WHUTCH
FAM!
WHACK
KRRENNNGG
KLUD
KRUNCH!
FOOM
CRUNCH!
WUMP!
SWUP!
KRNCHH
KRUUNK
BAWOOM!
WHUD (this time without the exclamation point)
BLAMP!
SHTUCKK
TUMP

Of these, I think my favourite is FAM – as in, he’s probably not going to be starting one after being on the receiving end of that.
