"Oh come on. That is not a real sound effect at all."
As an instructive example of life-imitating-art, I bring you this scene:
ALEXR enters the room. He spies, on a nearby table, a coffee pot, full of hot, delicious-smelling coffee.
ALEXR (aside): "Aha! Now I will avail myself of some coffee."
A comic-book-style sound effect appears in the air over the scene, reading "AVAIL!!"
Compare and contrast this segment with a page from the latest issue of the popular World-Wide Web comic Dr. McNinja:

Also, note the infamous SAILING MISHAP:
