Interested to hear what you think.

    Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it’s the combination of those two words anyway.

    It’s also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.

    The spelling “phoont” may be preferable.

      I know exactly what you mean with the air-tube. In video games it’s the stock grenade launcher sound effect.

      I spell it “fwump.” It’s funny that we’re probably thinking of the exact same sound and have different ways to express it
