Parading Pokies on da Beach

I had an english teacher in High School who was Greek (go figure), and she was always talking about onomatopoeia. I think of that word, invariably, in three cases:
1) when I think of swarthy, no-makeup-wearing, frumpy greek high school teachers
2) when I gotta-pee-uh (it rhymes, can’t help it)
3) when I see a stunningly hot girl in a white bikini with crazy pokies
Anyway, when you repeat a consonant sound (like parading pokies) it’s not onomatopoeia it’s alliteration. Who would’ve thought you would get a good reminder on english lessons on bralessblog?
