An onomatopoeia representing the sound of something being submerged in water or bubbling underwater.
This is an imitative word created from the sound of water displacement and gurgling. It's primarily used in English comics, cartoons, and children's literature to represent underwater sounds.
Comic books invented and popularized 'glub' as the official underwater sound—it's so associated with being underwater that when Aquaman or any underwater character talks in comics, 'glub' appears in their speech bubbles even though real underwater speakers can't make that sound.
