Does this mean you're 'gonna fly now'?

Naw, next Saturday. For 32 interminable hours ...

Take a goodly supply of sleeping pills, Sweetheart. But do get up and walk around every so often, okay? Much love to you.

Musick,

Why do you want words for sounds, such as the above mentioned grunt, giggle, guffaw, gag and gang? Is this just idle curiosity, or are you perhaps composing some avant-garde piece of music in which such words are used?

He wants to become a one-person symphony orchestra, without music. But with Musick. I can just hear it. "I'm now the first violins, playing A for a quaver, Bb for a quaver, C, D, E, F for semi-quavers. E---EEEEeeeeEE. Now, at the same time, I'm a flute in the woodwind section playing F for a quaver, G for a quaver, A, Bb, C, D for semi-quavers. Tooot--toottooooooot. Now I'm the bassoon, playing the same notes as the flute and at the same time, but one octave lower. Honk, honk, honnnnnnnnnk.

Yeah, that would work.

WW - Tain't no above mentioned guffaw or gag... mehbee its some kind of 'slip' you just made... Curiosity, yes. Idle, no. Truthfully, there was so much chatting going on, I thought I'd slap myself and wake up in a werld where the werds themselves initiate the context, not t'other way 'round... kinda like putting Descartes before the horse...

... we return you now to those thrilling days of yesteryear (1812 pr'aps)...

I'll bet there's an onomatopoeia list online somewhere that could save us a lot of trouble.
