Every language has its own onomatopoeic expressions but Japanese steps it up by having sounds for things like staring and blinking which makes Japanese quite unique.
Any favorite Gitaigo/Giongo you guys want to share?

Mine:

How does a falling leaf or feather sound in Japanese? ヒラヒラ

Cute chick at 12 o'clock, the staring 'sound': じっと
Megan Fox at 12 o'clock! じ〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜っと

Even babies have their own sound when crawling: はいはい(する)

You deserved to be slapped! In order from light slap to hard smack:
パン
パシン!
バン!!
バシン!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*example of a バシン!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too. IMO, it's quite a sloppy way of speaking... as if they don't have real words for things, so they just mimic the sounds. Japanese having such a huge amount of words and such a modular system with kanji shouldn't really be going in that direction.

I mean, imagine it in English. "The donki donki came over blenki blenkibly so it senka senka'ed!"

It's quite horrible.
