In linguistics and poetry, onomatopoeia is the device of a word, or occasionally, a grouping of words, with a sound imitating the sound it is describing, such as "bang", "click", "fizz", "hush". For animals, the following words are typically used in English:
A number of animals, especially birds, also get their names from the onomatopoeic link with the calls they make, such as the Cuckoo and the Chiffchaff.
- Bee - "Buzz"
- Cat - "Meow"
- Chickadee - "Chickadee"
- Chicken - "Cluck", "Cockadoodledoo"
- Cow - "Moo"
- Crow or raven - "Caw"
- Dog - "Woof"
- Duck - "Quack"
- Frog - "Ribbit"
- Lion - "Roar"
- Humans - "Prattle," "blab", and "brouhaha"
- Mouse - "Squeak"
- Owl - "Hoo"
- Pig - "Oink"
- Sheep - "Baa"
Advertising uses onomatopeoia as a mnemonic so consumers will remember their products:
The sound of Tennyson's words reinforces the actual words describing a lazy summer's day: The moan of doves in immemorial elms, / And murmuring of innumerable bees.
- Rice Crispies - "Snap, crackle, pop" when you pour on milk
- Alka Seltzer - makes a "plop, plop, fizz, fizz" noise when dunked in water
- Cocoa Puffs - a wacky bird is "cuckoo" for them
According to Dick Higgins, "Three basic types of sound poetry from the relative past come to mind immediately: folk varieties, onomatopoetic or mimetic types, and nonsense poetries. The folk roots of sound poetry may be seen in the lyrics of certain folk songs, such as the Horse Songs of the Navajos or in the Mongolian materials collected by the Sven Hedin expedition." (Primary Reference: Henning Haslund-Christiansen, "The Music of the Mongols: Eastern Mongolia" 1943:New York, Da Capo Press:1971; Secondary Reference: "A TAXONOMY OF SOUND POETRY" by Dick Higgins, From "PRECISELY: TEN ELEVEN TWELVE" (1981), RELATED RESOURCE: Dick Higgins' Audio Works on UbuWeb Sound Poetry, URL http://www.ubu.com/papers/higgins_sound.html ).
Onomatopoeia in Music
Onomatopoeia-based music uses the mouth and vocal cords (that is, voice) as the primary musical instrument. A common music tool in European and American cultures uses the voice instrumental tool that is technically called a solfege. A solfege is a vocalized musical scale that is commonly known as Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti. A solfege may be sung, spoken or used in a combination. A variety of similar tools are found in scat singing of jazz, Delta blues and also rock and roll and the ska variation of reggae music (especially in the form of ska called Two Tone).
It should be noted that historically, some forms of onomatopoeia served as a mnemonic and a mimetic tool for musicians around the world. See mouth music.

- 1. Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to receive e-mail from a mail server. See POP3 While POP clients can be configured to leave mail on the server, typically they delete the messages, once read; the result is that the email is only available on the computer it's originally read on. The IMAP protocol is different in that it leaves the email on the server, making it possible to read email from more than one computer.
- 2. Point of Presence, an Internet Service Provider's physical connection to another telecommunications network. Often found in a colocation centre. Most users only need to know about POPs for telephone dial-up access. An medium to large sized ISP generally has many POP's, some have hundreds, some even thousands.
- 3. PowerPC Open Platform, a computer hardware reference design released by IBM for free use in 1999. The successor of CHRP.
- 4. Probability of precipitation, used in a weather forecast to define the chance that rain, snow, or other precipitation will fall during the specified period.

Depending on context, pop music is either an abbreviation of popular music or a term for a sub-genre of it.
The subgenre of pop is perhaps the most widely crowd-pleasing form of popular music. As a rule, pop music features simple, memorable melodies with catchy, singalong choruses, and instrumentally features heavy use of synthesiser backing. It is instantly accessible to even the musically uninitiated. Successful pop music (and successful pop music is usually measured in terms of its commercial success without any pretence to broader artistic goals) is usually performed by charismatic performers who may or may not be musically talented but who look attractive and may dance well. Songwriting and arranging may be performed by anonymous but well-paid producers.
Pop music is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is believed to be primarily due to financial considerations being placed above artistic considerations by recording companies in their selection of artists and songs. Companies often judge that their profits will be maximized by selling music that has the broadest possible appeal (some works of popular music have sold tens of millions of copies). Such music is often unsatisfying to more discerning listeners. This is also at least partially why genres that manage to attain a certain level of credibility as styles in their own right are often no longer considered "pop".
In most of pop music, the record producer is a major contributor, sometimes more important than the artist, through choosing the songs and shaping the sound of the music.
The image of pop performers is often regarded as being as important as their actual music. Consequently, pop performers and their managers make elaborate efforts to project the desired image through their clothing, music video clips, manipulation of the popular press, and similar tactics. Indeed, many pop acts are formulated around achieving the desired image, with music considered later. Boy bands and girl bands are particularly carefully organised in this manner, with members chosen and groomed to fill certain stereotypes to appeal to different personalities of fan.
A particular style of song particularly associated with the pop genre is the love ballad, a slow song in which the performers sing usually highly sentimental songs about various aspects of romantic love.
Well-known pop musicians include Madonna and Michael Jackson (the self-styled "King of Pop") and from earlier days Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Paul Whiteman, and Rudy Vallee.

Popular music, sometimes abbreviated to pop music, is music belonging to any of a number of contemporary musical styles broadly popular (ergo the term). A narrower sense of the term, usually "pop music", covers mainstream music that does not fall into any other convenient style such as jazz or hip hop. In the broader sense, "popular music" means any sort of music intended for mass consumption and propagated over the radio and similar media. For the varieties of popular music in this sense, see the list below.
A defining characteristic of popular music (in the broader sense) is that it is the product of the modern business enterprise, and is disseminated for the purpose of earning a profit. Executives and employees of popular music businesses try to select and cultivate the music that will have the greatest success with the public, and thus maximimize the profits of their firm. In this respect, popular music differs from traditional folk music, which is created by ordinary people for their own enjoyment; and much classical music, which was originally created to serve the purposes of the Church or for the entertainment of the nobility.
Although the controlling forces of popular music are business enterprises, young people who aspire to become popular musicians are certainly not always driven by the profit motive. Rather, they often want to find an outlet for their sense of expression and creativity, or simply to have fun. Historically, the conflicting motives of business people and musicians has been a source of tension in the popular music industry.
Many people play popular music together with their friends, often in garages and basements, on a casual amateur basis. This activity is one of the most widespread forms of participatory music-making in modern societies. As participatory music, "garage bands" are a new development in traditional folk music, which (where it survives) is likewise performed by ordinary people for enjoyment. The difference is that amateur performers of popular music are well acquainted with the expert performances that they hear on recordings, and often try to emulate them. In the past, folk music had few professional experts and was spread by word of mouth and by songsheets, although today folk music is the subject of considerable scholarly study and is widely available on recordings.
