mrow Hello. What does 'mrow' mean in this context?
Does it mean 'bye'?
(She is talking to her husband on the phone.)
Okay, come home when you're done... I have something to tell you.
I love you too.
Mrow!

Re: mrow Where did you see or hear this? 'Mrow' is not an English word.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

Re: mrow *** NOT A TEACHER ***
I assume it's similar to "meow" (the sound a cat makes), and it indicates that she is her husband's pussycat.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: mrow The picture is showing that the woman is just hanging up the phone.
And I think you are right.
Thank you all.

Teacher Re: mrow I've suggested something without even taking part in the thread! Wow, I'm good! Originally Posted by 5jj

NOT A TEACHER
(1) Of course, I immediately rushed to Professor Google and learned that you are
100% correct.
(2) The Urban Dictionary tells us that it is "a human impersonation of a cat,
either to annoy or show suggestiveness."
(3) Maybe learners should not use this word, for -- according to the Urban
Dictionary -- it can refer to romantic affairs or even to a certain illegal drug.
