Blurping

/ˈblɜːrpɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of making a blurp sound; producing short, popping, bubbling sounds repeatedly.

Etymology

From 'blurp' plus the present participle suffix '-ing.' 'Blurp' itself is onomatopoetic, so 'blurping' simply marks the ongoing action.

Kelly Says

Onomatopoeia like 'blurping' show that English directly borrowed sounds from nature—your brain literally recognizes the sound within the word before you consciously understand it.
