A to Z Challenge 2015: O - Office Space

Only one more day before a day off!

TGIF.

I have visited so many blogs this week.

Not as many as the first week, but close.

I still see a few people not posting, so hopefully everyone will get caught up!

Anyway, today's story is one of the funniest films of the 90s. Already well known for Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge really put his film career on the map with Office Space. If you haven't seen it, you are seriously missing out.

So today's 2015 April A to Z Blogging Challenge story for the letter O:

Office Space

Here is the summary from IMDB:

Three company workers who hate their jobs and decide to rebel against their greedy boss.

Director: Mike Judge
Writers: Mike Judge (Milton animated shorts), Mike Judge (screenplay)
Stars: Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, David Herman

That's it! Please come back tomorrow.

A to Z Challenge: O - Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia

Also known as, how many vowels can we string together in a row without looking stupid?

on·o·mat·o·poe·ia [on-uh-mat-uh-pee-uh, ‐mah-tuh‐] n. the formation of a word, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent

Synonyms: there are no synonyms, so instead, examples: sizzle, murmur, buzz, splat, chop, meow, honk, boom ... I could go on like this for some time.

Etymology: 1570s, from L.L., from Gk. onomatopoiia "the making of a name or word" (in imitation of a sound associated with the thing being named), from onomatopoios, from onoma (gen. onomatos) "word, name" (see name) + a derivative of poiein "compose, make" (see poet).
