You mean "arrggghhh", I assume... It�s just a type of word (well sort of) used to denote frustration or the sound one makes when frustrated. .. It�s like putting a "hahaha.." for a joke  or an "Ohhh..."  for surprise...

you mean "arrggghhhh"?

I think is an onomatopaedic expression, signalling that someone is shouting....isn�t it? Is that what you are asking?

I hope to have been of help

That�s an onomatopoeic expression to show that you don�t like something.

E.g.:

-Sam, do you want some broccoli pie?

-Arrggghhh mum, you know I don�t like broccoli!!!

 

Hope it helps!

Hugs!

Hi there Aldana Smile,

I see we are all in agreement. The expression could denote any of the above things... dislike, frustration...
