Grr is an onomatopoeic word with the main usage of imitating the sound of predator animals. It is one of rare pronounceable words of English language that consist solely of consonants.
It may also be used in several additional meanings, derived from the primary one.
Grr is said, often by monsters, when someone is mad. It can be used in sentences such as: "grr. You stole my alpaca!" "Is that my elephant shaped bouncy castle? Grr!" "I am doing my scary glare. Grr. I am scaring you. grr. Look at my scary glaring."
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 prostitutes 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".
In the Dutch language, in comic strips, "Grrrrrr pfffffff" is used to signify snoring, much as "Zzzzzzz" is in American strips. The "G" is aspirated much like the English "H" and the "r" is guttural and rolled. "Grrrrr pffffff," as pronounced in Dutch, is, in fact, a superbly accurate phonetic rendition of the sound of a snore.
