No, in my opinion, I don't think it is. It isn't shortened, && it also doesn't stand for anything. I personally like using "rawr" regulary as a substitute to express my frustration.

I agree with everyone here. Rawr is just realisitic when you want bring across the sound effect of a given action.

Nah. Rawr is no shortcut for roar. Also, it lacks the ridiculousness of other chatspeak terms. So, I deem that it's not really chatspeak.

If anyone wanted to be technical, Rawr would be a misspelling of Roar, but both are the same thing, only roaring applies more to dominance and anger while "rawring" would apply to playfulness, joy, and childishness.

Are you reffering to the act of purposely misspelling words like "Dis maeks mee laff"? Because if you are, that P.O.s me so much. I just can't stand purpose misspelling, it's not funny, just annoying.

'Rawr' is like a mating call for couples to use. whee
So I'm used to it. smile

And it's definitely not 'txt' talk.

I would take "rawr" as an onamonapia (sp?). Did anyone go "roar" when they are roaring, no, it sounds like "rawr." But of course that doesn't mean it is good grammar.


Agreed; I think of "roar" as a noun or verb, depending on the context, and "rawr," as the onomatopoeia of the word as it is used.

"Rawr" is more of an onomatopoeia than "txt tlk."

Well, pretty much everyone here has said what I would, but I'll say it anyway. Rawr is more of an onomataopoiea, and is normally used as the playful roaring sound.
