An onomatopoeia or onomatopœia ( pronunciation (US) (help·info), from the Greek ὀνοματοποιία; ὄνομα for "name" and ποιέω for "I make",adjectival form: "onomatopoeic" or "onomatopoetic") is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Onomatopoeia (as an uncountable noun) refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as "oink" or "meow" or "roar" or "chirp". Onomatopoeias are not the same across all languages; they conform to some extent to the broader linguistic system they are part of; hence the sound of a clock may be tick tock in English, dī dā in Mandarin, or katchin katchin in Japanese.
In the case of a frog croaking, the spelling may vary because different frog species around the world make different sounds: Ancient Greek brekekekex koax koax (only in Aristophanes' comic play The Frogs) for probably marsh frogs; English ribbit for species of frog found in North America; English verb "croak" for the common frog.

Plot
The Shanghai Hotel is the story of a young woman named Yin Yin (Eugenia Yuan), who illegally buys her way to the USA from communist China hoping to make a better life for herself and her family. After a long, treacherous journey stowed away in a dark hull of an overcrowded cargo ship, Yin Yin arrives in New York City for what she thinks will be the beginning of a better life. Falsely promised a job in the technology industry, her dreams are shattered when she is told by the Snakeheads, an Asian gang, that her debt is much higher than expected. To pay off that additional debt she will have to work it off by being a prostitute. Yin Yin is devastated by the news that she is being sold into the sex slave trade. The rundown, decrepit building that Yin Yin and the other prostitutes live and work in is known as the Shanghai Hotel. Women from Thailand, Korea and China all reside in the Shanghai Hotel. Some of the women know what they are there for but most are just like Yin Yin, unwilling participants forced to sell their bodies. Upon arriving at the Shanghai Hotel, Yin Yin is isolated and locked in a room all by herself. The room has many windows, but the glass is spray painted black so that no one can see in or out. One window though is missing and is covered with just black tape. Yin Yin lifts the tape and has her only view of freedom and the outside world, the streets of New York City. While staring out the window, Yin Yin notices a bike messenger who is giving some food and blankets to the homeless people across the street from the Shanghai Hotel. She can tell that he is a kind-hearted person and decides to try and communicate with him. She gets his attention and passes him a note. The note tells of her horrible situation, but pleads with him not to tell anyone for fear of what repercussions the Snakeheads might take on her family in China. She ends the note by saying all she really needs is a friend. The bike messenger, named Carlos (Hill Harper), accepts her invitation of friendship but over time a love between the two of them develops through the passing of notes. The film explores the elements of human trafficking and the hardships that Yin Yin faces during her time at the Shanghai Hotel.

He gets off work about 5,
Been gearing up all day, for a hot friday night,
There's a big ol' party, down by the lake,
Got a cooler, and a case, got girls all over the place.
When the sun starts sinking down real low,
hooks monster speakers to the stereo,
He climbs up in the bed of his trucks
And starts screaming at the top of his lungs.
When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump Thump,
When they do it in the city they go bump bump bump,
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump,
Cause everybody wants to go,
The real nitty gritty, the country or the city,
Everybody wants to go thump Thump Thump.
She gets off work 4:15,
Jumps in a tanning bed, then she calls up Irene,
She says hey girlfriend, do you wanna run around,
I'm on a mission, I'm going fishin' for a party out on the town.
They found a place where the band was rocking, the boys were manly and the times were poppin,
Up on the bar, putting on a show, kicking up her heels and letting everybody know.
When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump Thump,
when they do it in the city they go bump bump bump,
So throw up your hands and go jump jump jump,
Cause everybody wants to go,
The real nitty gritty, the country or the city,
Everybody wants to go Thump thump thump.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
When you do it in the county you go Thump thump Thump,
When they do it in the city they go bump bump bump,
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump, Cause everybody wants to go,
When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump thump,
When you do it in the city they go bump bump bump,
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump,
The real nitty gritty,
The country or the city,
