Nonomatopoeia

Nonomatopoeia: noun. A word that specifically describes what something does not sound like. This can be very useful to describe how something doesn’t sound the way it should, or to describe how normal the sound of something is for example “’meow’ the table didn’t say as it hit the floor in frustration”. The word “nonomatopoeia” was first discovered on a VHS tape; the identities of the people in the tape are unknown and the topic of the video is also unknown as the tape was confiscated by a group of well-dressed men before it could be finished.
