How would you spell the way you sneeze?

Come on, let’s have a graphic rendition, phonetically. Nearest approximation will do.

My hay-fever sneezes are pretty controlled: Ckkh! Ckkh! When I have a cold, they’re kind of more crashing.

My husband emits great splashy sneezes: Kzheh-KZHASHK-yeh! Wowee. Makes me want an umbrella.

My grandfather used to go Hitch! Hitch! in the middle of the night.

And I used to work with an old guy who went Ha-SHWEEZ!—the last part sounding like a high-pitched whistle. He did one of those every morning around 9:00. My boss said, “That’s Mr. S’s morning prayer.”

 

Tags as I wrote them: sneezes, phonetics, sound effects, novelty, grapefruit.
