I need ONE onomatopoeic word for "easily inserted".

I'm a bit puzzled here. An onomatopoetic word is a word that sounds
similar to the thing or action that it describes. I can't quite see
how something can mimic the sound of being easily inserted. Do you
have a particular type of insertion in mind?

Clarification of Question by debaser-ga on 08 Jan 2006 16:35 PST
Good point. I shall rephrase. I would like one word that has a
pleasant psychoacoustic effect on the hearer and describes the action
of something being "easily inserted".

Regards

You could say that something "slips in" or "glides in." Does that
catch your meaning?

Clarification of Question by debaser-ga on 08 Jan 2006 16:45 PST
Yes, that catches the meaning. Now all I need is that eloquent word.

How about "glissade"? It's eloquent, and the 's' sound gives it a
slippery, sliding sound:

Nice word....but I need the focus to be placed on the ease of
insertion as opposed to the insertion itself. The word could also be
representative of an existing item or process that is easily
insertible. Hope this helps.

I hope another Researcher can help. I'm out of suggestions. More
details might be useful.

Slidable.

I'm not sure you'll find anything more psychoacoustically eloquent
than that for the particular concept you have in mind.

Something is easily inserted if it's slippery, which is certainly
an onomatopoetic word. Perhaps you can explain why that won't do.

"Schloop" and "schplork" come to mind. Onomatopoetic as all get out.
"It just schlooped right in," or "He just schplorked it in there, easy
as pie!" They do sound a bit rude, though.

Can you give an idea of what's being inserted where?

There's a sentence I never thought I'd be writing. Please don't make
me live to regret it.
