No, that's not right, but I'm trying to spell a raspberry--you know, when you stick your tongue out and make the fart noise. How do you spell that?

Pbbbbt, maybe? I think I've seen it spelled that way before.

I've personally like spelling it as "pthbt." xD

Well, there's the raspberry which is spelled as afore mentioned, then there's the I'm-not-gonna-laugh-but-it's-just-too-dang-hard-noise which goes "Pfffft!"

Then there's my personal favorite. The I-really-don't-give-a-flip/yeah-right! scoff which is spelled "Psht!"

Despite the bad weather
The slow pokes will be like "Say what?!"

Thanks, all! I'd filled in phttt! after I wrote the question, but will go with Travis's suggestion: pthbt!

I can't even make that noise, let alone write it...

It has occurred to me (can anyone back me up here?) that the spelling "pthbt" is very Calvin and Hobbes.

Any Runescpe fans here? I haven't played in ages, but I remember that they spelled it "Thbbbbbt!" which I liked a lot. ...I love this thread, by the way.
