Remark by the Empress of Blandings

Usage examples of oink.

The dry, coppery leaves beneath the trees were full of stealthy rustlings and creepings as small creatures fed on beechmast, and the oinking of pigs could be heard in the distance, where someone was exercising his ancient right to pannage for his animals.

The Great Green Oink is preceded by a wretched, vaguely muddy stench, and this odor is preceded by a grunty Oinking noise that gives the creature its undignified yet wholly appropriate name.

Whatever the cause, the smell came into the clearing with a sort of wet, resounding thud, and the Oinks followed.

The three sisters blinked mildly as the dust cloud swept over them, and then the Oinks were upon them.

He glared downward as the beast he had summoned oinked happily, nuzzling its bristly snout against his leg.

Only a halfheartedly barking hound dog greeted them there—none of the women Mullenax had mentioned—and a penful of pigs oinked and squealed with hungry vigor.
