that sang: Plop Plop Fizz Fizz when dropping the tablets into a cup of water.  |

Sorry to interfere with your thread SFS, but what would "pıt pıt yağ olsun" mean then?

You and your interferations are always welcome Elisa.
I can imagine 2 things on "pıt pıt yağ olsun" sentence.
1-) Sound of "Pıt" recalls something small/less and in pieces in my mind. For oil, it recalls not in much quantity but well oiled fry pan.
2-) Small things in half-ball shape. Like droplets on the window or a car after a rain.
There maybe another special usage among Ev-hanımları that I couldn't get

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah....this is also an English sound when someone is talking too much or complaining too much.
eg "he said he wouldn't wash the dishes for me but why should I do them when I'm looking after the children and blah blah blah blah blah".
Oh and another noise for an empty stomach is "gggggrrrrrrowl". In England we usually say "oh my stomach is rumbling".
