English examples[edit]

I think this article is missing examples in English. There are commonly used echo words in almost any language. For example you say "Pain shmain" if you think of a minor pain, making an echo word of pain by overwriting the p with sh. This can actually be done with any word, thunder shmunder, ghosts shmosts, argle-bargle and so on.

Now, my native language isn't English but I'm certain other types of echo words do exist in the English language and I'm inviting you to think of a few and put them in a list and eventually we will get some good examples we can add to the article. Gachl (talk) 12:29, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
