Talk:The Thing That Goes Doink

This item has a name: 'Deer Scare', or 'shishi-odoshi' if one insists on using Japanese on an English-language wiki.

Even if for some reason we aren't going to go with the Real Life name and will insist on using a cutesy-but-esoteric title, could we at least fix the onomatopoeia? Right now, we're making people think of Tigger bouncing down the road, hearing the springs in his legs go 'doink-doink-doink-doink-doink...'

What's the actual onomatopoeia for that item? To me, it sounds like "tu-cún", and for english-language brained people may sound closer to "boink-kin"

A redirect with the actual name could do too?

Oh, I hope we don't. I'm terribly fond of this one; I even cited it when Peg and I came across one at the Morikami Gardens in Del Rey Beach, FL a few weeks ago.
