He's the classic failed middle aged sales person, constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown over his next deal. A bit like death of a salesman, which even I found to be too depressing!

autonym is also a word that describes itself, old thread mainly proving that Gemmill is a buffoooooon and that oranges are orange.

The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now.

Fluffy is quite blatantly an autonym. That you lot don't recognise it as such is a sign of your ignorance. I came up with loads of good ones in the old thread actually. By the end of the thread I feel I was the only one who fully understood the concept.

You need to be educated on the meaning of autonyms. I reckon you're getting confused with onomatopaeia.
