Its not really a word, its an onomatopaedic representation of a sound. Shutter is a part of a window, shudder is an action.

Its "onomatopoetic".

And white we are at it smart guy, seeing we are all such an elite class here, destine to continuously disprove one another, you may want to refer to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 10th ed. to which, my friend, does include said words "yech/yecch" and "yuck". Apparently they became dictionary bound in the late 1960s thanks to them damn dirty hippies.

First off, it's spelled "onomatopoeia". And, since it isn't "onomatopoedia", any comparison to "encyclopedia" is nonsensical.

The adjectival form is "onomatopoeic", or, alternatively, "onomatopoetic".

Didn't B&B say something similar about that Ferengi episode having airtight continuity as well? I'm worried about his saying this episode will help continuity. I suspect this episode will give the Borg their name.

Any bets on whether we'll hear their age-old "We are the Borg" greeting?
