I wouldn't call this a pun; it's onomatopoeia.
I would say that the onomatopoeia is the pun. ;-)
That's not what a pun is. A pun is a joke that relies on ambiguous or multiple meanings of words being mixed together. Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound of what it describes or what it is associated with. *chuy* does not mix together ambiguous or multiple meanings; it simply imitates the sound of what it describes. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
