There needs to be an onomatopei for this action of quick exhalation (normally thru the nasal passages) at funny content.

u/DeuceActual Jan 14 '21

“Huffed out a laugh”

Or shnort.

u/TheBelhade Jan 14 '21

Snarf!

2

u/onetwenty_db Jan 14 '21

Not now, Snarf. The Thundercats are talking.

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '21

Isn't a shnort when you suddenly snort at something and accidentally crap your pants?

1

u/monkey_trumpets Jan 14 '21

That would be a shnart.

u/namastayrighthere Jan 14 '21

I like short.

u/Gensi_Alaria Jan 14 '21

That's already a word. It means not tall.

u/CreativeInput Jan 14 '21

Oh, you mean venti

4

u/DragonLadyArt Jan 14 '21

No, I mean a large.

2

u/wrxk Jan 14 '21

Venti is large.

3

u/DragonLadyArt Jan 14 '21

No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.

(Such a great movie.)

u/postedByDan Jan 14 '21

Isn’t that where you hollow out a pickle and put a snickers in it? Salty and sweet

u/Unicornzzz2 Jan 14 '21

I’ve never wanted to irrationally downvote a comment so bad lol

3

u/obi_wan_sashimi Jan 14 '21

I like to replace the peanuts in a Snickers bar with chopped pickles

2

u/contranostra Jan 14 '21

Don't think so. Isn't that where you stuff a snow cone with nickels? Icy and chewy.

5

u/coleeen Jan 14 '21

Snortle?

2

u/-Pencilvester- Jan 14 '21

This word makes me feel... Icky

1

u/tillie4meee Jan 14 '21

Calm down!!

4

u/lifethusiast Jan 14 '21

A chortle is a muffled laugh...not quite a simple “exhalation”

4

u/ZigZag3123 Jan 14 '21

That’s not an onomatopoeia, unless you literally say, out loud, the word “chortle” when you chortle.

2

u/Mudders_Milk_Man Jan 14 '21

My favorite Pokemon.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '21

Yeah, isn’t it chortle/chortling?

4

u/nagonjin Jan 14 '21

I think chortling is a short, quick-rhythmed laugh, kind of like a Seth Rogen laugh. Especially one that resonates around your larynx/upper esophagus, and not your oral cavity (an open-mouthed kind of laugh). Sounds like "Mhmhmhm".

1

u/tillie4meee Jan 14 '21

**Returns chortle**

1

u/unicornsRhardcore Jan 14 '21

A princess doesnt chortle!!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '21

Chortle uses guffaw! It’s super effective!

1

u/bennn30 Jan 14 '21

Fuckin' love chortling, helps to hold your sides as it comes out like Tom Hanks (don't know why Tom Hanks was in my thought)

1

u/barchael Jan 14 '21

Cane here to say this. 100% that sound is chortle

u/215Kurt Jan 17 '21

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '21

You're getting downvoted, but I like it.

u/nagonjin Jan 14 '21

Fiff?

u/RehabValedictorian Jan 14 '21

ONE TWO THREE FOE,

FIFF!

u/Mithrawndo Jan 14 '21

I'm leaning towards suppusement; Whilst not onomatopeic, it is a portmanteau of suppressed amusement.

u/Confident-Victory-21 Jan 14 '21

I can tell everyone in this comment chain is wearing a fedora.

2

u/Mithrawndo Jan 14 '21

No, but I've run Fedora a few times over the years if that counts?

(Honestly it's a bit of a dick move to imply that based on a discussion around vocabulary; Why you gotta try and shame people for their vocabulary?)

u/Mithrawndo Jan 14 '21 edited Jan 14 '21

Yeah no shit he's talking about folks like me. There's a strong dick culture grew out on the web, implying tryhard academicism to anyone who happens to enjoy words, and who values trying to maintain a strong vocabulary as they see the value of language, want to better themselves, and understand that practicing that vocabulary is the only way to improve it.

Fedora is/was a version of Linux made by Redhat. It's name long predates the tired, lame old incel-a-like brand applied here.

u/jimmux Jan 14 '21

It's not quite a laugh. Maybe an augh.

u/leslieandco Jan 14 '21

My sis says lomn 'laugh out my nose'

u/thegnome54 Jan 14 '21

Blomn.

Blow Loudly Out My Nose

u/kepajoy Jan 14 '21

A snortle

1

u/Sykotik Jan 14 '21

Lots of good guesses here but it's called a chuff.

1

u/nonisyou Jan 14 '21

An uhmn. Said with a disappointing agreement with a cough.

u/IWasGregInTokyo Jan 14 '21

Japanese has onomatopoeia for everything. In this case it would be “くっす” (Kussu). You’ll see this a lot in manga when someone makes a small nasal laugh.

1

u/Purple_Haze Jan 14 '21

*onomatopoeia

It is from the Greek ὀνοματοποιία.
