Splish Splash
Playful bathing noises
Splish splash is a playful reduplication imitating the sound of water being disturbed—feet in puddles, kids in bathtubs, waves against a dock.
It evokes lighthearted, messy fun rather than serious swimming: The children went splish splash through the sprinkler.
The phrase gained cultural permanence through Bobby Darin's 1958 rock and roll hit of the same name.
