'''Grr''' is an [[Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeic]] word with the main usage of imirtating the sound of [[predator]] animals. It is one of rare pronounsceable words of [[English language]] that consist solely of [[consonant]]s.

It may also be used in several additional meanings, derived from the primary one.

== To show anger ==

Grr is said, often by monsters, when someone is mad.   It can be used in sentences such as:
"grr.  yYou stole my alpaca!"
"Is that my elephant shaped bouncy castle?  gGrr!"
"I am the gGrim rReaper.   Feel the sting of my scythe.  gGrr.   I am scaring you.  grr.   I am the gGrim rReaper"

== As a sex thing ==

Grr can be said suggestively.   It is normally done with a raised eyebrow, and often a hand movement.   It signifies animal type lust, and is often used by cheap [[prostitute]]s in leopard print cat suits.  It can be used in contexts such as:
"It's dirty and you want it.  GRR."
"Oooooh.  Mr Baby- I mean Bailey!!  grr."

The correct response to this type of ''grr'', is always "Easy tiger".








== Foreign languages ==

==="Grrrrrr pffffff" in Dutch===

In the [[Dutch language]], in [[comic strip]]s, "Grrrrrr pfffffff" is used to signify snoring, much as "Zzzzzzz" is in [[United States|American]] strips. Because the "G" is aspirated much like the English "H" and the "r" is guttural and rolled. "Grrrrr pffffff," as pronounced in Dutch, is therefore, in fact, a superbly accurate phonetic rendition of the sound of a snore.
