'Hinshelwood has got a mature head on his shoulders'

By Yahoo Sports | 2/25/2026 5:01 AM

Former Brighton defender Guy Butters says Jack Hinshelwood is being afforded the opportunity to "play with more freedom" in his new attacking role under Fabian Hurzeler. Having played in a predominantly defensive midfield role for the majority of the season, and deputising at right back on occasion, the 20-year-old played further forward in Saturday's 2-0 win at Brentford. "He's grown up around the football environment with his family," Butters told the Albion Unlimited podcast.

Word of the Day

onomatopoeia

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 25, 2026 is:

onomatopoeia • \ah-nuh-mah-tuh-PEE-uh\ • noun

Onomatopoeia refers to the creation of words that imitate natural sounds. It can also refer to the words themselves, such as buzz and hiss.

// The author’s clever use of onomatopoeia delights children especially.

See the entry >

Examples:

“As they began to slurp, columns of noodles steadily streamed upward into their open jaws. The jazz soundtrack of Hiromi’s Sonicwonder playing ‘Yes! Ramen!!’ was punctuated by a gurgling roar reminiscent of shop vacs inhaling shallow pools. ‘We call it ‘hitting the zu’s,’’ says Steigerwald, noting the reference to zuru zuru, the onomatopoeia for slurping ramen in Japanese comics.” — Craig LaBan, The Philadelphia Inquirer, 18 Jan. 2026

Did you know?

English speakers have only used the word onomatopoeia since the 1500s, but people have been creating words that imitate the sounds heard around them for much longer; chatter, for example, dates to the 1200s. Some onomatopes (as onomatopoeic words are sometimes called) are obvious—fizz, jingle, toot, and pop do not surprise. But did you know that other onomatopes include bounce, tinker, and blimp? Boom! Now you do. In fact, the presence of so many imitative words in language spawned the linguistic bowwow theory, which hypothesizes that language originated in the imitating of natural sounds. While it’s highly unlikely that onomatopoeia is the sole impetus for human language, it certainly made a mark, which is nothing to sneeze at.
