As for "splutter," it's as obvious a combinatorial as "decimate," what the Rev. C. L. Dodgson would have referred to as a "portmanteau word." "Split" and "utter" combine to reference the classic "apical interlabial unvoiced split fricative," or "Bronx Raspberry." (See what attempting an undergrad major in linguistics can do for your B.S. vocabulary?) I'm sure there is a linguistics-jargon term for defining whether the observed utterance occurs with or without full-range saliva spray, but you get the idea.
