Is "oom" a known word for everyone?
 

Is "oom" known for every native English speakers?

Oom are you speaking to?

"Oom" meaning an old man?

I thought it was O.M.?

It was popular with the Dutch in the 19th Century.
Actually, it just referred to an older man - especially an uncle,
so not necessarily an "old" man.

I need a one-syllable word which begins with a vowel and which means human being, spirit or a group: man, relative, tribe, soul etc.

I have come up with aunt and young but they're too "kind" because in the text they've been sacrificed.

How about cunt?

EDIT: missed the vowel part, nevermind.

EDIT EDIT: Oaf?

Get some help or learn to read..

Rood. Check the edits.

I have never heard this word.

Oom is still the common Dutch word for uncle, so yeah I know the word

I've never seen or heard the word "oom" in English, so wouldn't recommend its use in lyrics aimed at an English-speaking market.

Why does it have to start with a vowel? If you're going to eliminating words like fool, jerk, witch, knave, milf, mug, thug and twit, then I don't think you'll find anything better than Frownland's "oaf".

Says the guy who can't use a proper ellipsis.

Every native English speaker uses "oom" all the time.

These were the only things that came to my mind when I saw the word "oom"...

And...

and oomie means human in orcish.

^Well, if it's a word, I've only seen it used in connection with the words "br" and "z".

^ ...or as it is presumably reduced to in DwnWthVwls-speak, "m"

I have decided to use "Earth" since it fits fine, and other proper choices were hard to find.

Thanks to all of you, very genius people!
