cackling and cocksure term Explanation: For example. Other tweakings are possible :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2017-07-24 16:12:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cacophony =>a harsh discordant mixture of sounds. "a cacophony of deafening alarm bells" synonyms: din, racket, noise, discord, dissonance, discordance, caterwauling, raucousness, screeching, jarring, stridency, grating, rasping -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2017-07-24 16:13:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: "dissonant and henlike" don't cut it for me, but you see where I'm going.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2017-07-24 16:15:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The literal "cacophonic and gallinaceous" might actually work, although it may be too wordy for soem readers... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2017-07-24 16:16:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hamlet and the Baker's Son: My Life in Theatre and Politics https://books.google.es/books?isbn=1135127751 Augusto Boal - 2013 - Performing Arts Meanwhile the cacophonic cries and clamour of the other animals redoubled. ... Some neighbours kindly returned the gallinaceous escapees. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2017-07-24 16:17:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gallinaceous -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-07-24 17:21:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So you'd get something like this: "Trendies (or Hipsters) have found the perfect cacophonic and gallinaceous epithet to expand the nomenclature of life and society : cocreate" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-07-24 17:22:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Think of Stephen Fry reading it aloud and it sort of works :) |

crowingly cacophonous term Explanation: And then I think you'd have to give the term itself in Spanish, with s translation in brackets. It has enough cock-a-doodle and crow in it for the description to make sense. |
