Thud and poof

What is different between thuds and poofs?
Thanking you.
  

Top answer

The sounds are best characterized by what causes them. A poof is generally the sound that, say, a cupcake produces when hit against a wall, whereas the thud is more likely to be caused by a muffin-like projectile.

Hi Mask, nice to meet you sort of. Please let me add a few words. I just thought of something that tickled my funny bone. Hey, I like the way you describe the sound of cup cakes & muffins! lol

To add Just a Little to What Mask Wrote
If you date a poof, the evening could end with a thud. Now, babies, don’t confuse your poofs with your puffs, your pansies with your cup cakes.
