Thud Quotations
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
Elizabeth Taylor
I became a connoisseur of that nasty thud a manuscript makes when it comes through the letter box.
James Herriot
I heard this massive thud. I spun around, and there Keith was, on the ground. He'd cut his gums up on impact, he was very bloody, and clutching his head. I think it was a kind of wake-up call for him.
Ron Wood
Suddenly, at about ten o'clock, a dull thud sounded somewhere far away from us, and simultaneously we saw a small white round cloud about half a mile ahead of us where the shrapnel had exploded. The battle had begun.
Fritz Kreisler
One moment you appear to be riding the crest of a wave, only to have the rug pulled away from you, bringing you back down to earth with a sickening thud.
John Barrow
