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

(contracted; show full)

=="Grrrrrr pffffff" in Dutch==

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