It's an actual word. If it were like "shhhhthut" then it would be one.
Size has nothing to with it. "Sha-DOOOM-rumbleumbleumble", being the sound of a ship carrying refined oil catching fire and exploding, is a perfectly acceptable onomatopoeia.

"Hit in the face" probably isn't an onomatopoeia (even if it might be used as such for ironic effect), but punch might be.
The Batman show chose its onomatopoeias for specific effect, that doesn't mean they necessarily define the available field.

What's the difference between Smoke and an elephant fart?
Smoke is a bar room, whereas an elephant fart is more of a "BARROOM!"

Spiny is so desperately trying to talk sense to these people. Man, sometimes you just have to accept that someone just believes that they're right and can't be bothered to learn the truth about things. Valiant effort, though.

Mine are of the tacking on "your mom" variety, but never in a way that would be obscene or could pass as an actual insult.
Example: "Hey, could you stop by the grocery store after work?"
"Your Mom went to the grocery store!"
I then ask if they can feel the burn (they can't)

Agreed on both counts. Though I'm not a Zits fan or anything, it's hard to dislike...even if my parents still say "this guy is just like you!"
