  • 1998, growl....., rec.org.sca on Usenet purrrrr....... rawr. Was that "rawr" with a capital R or small r? There's a difference...
  • 2005, One Way Out, Michele Albert, p. 328 "Rawr," Cassie playfully growled, then nipped his lip. "Smart man."
  • 2008, Divided We Stand, United We Get Horizontal, Glynnis MacNicol, Rachel Sklar, Huffington Post ... we think the sexiest thing in this entire post is the phrase "Duncan Hunter." It sort of sounds like a sassy verb, if you think about it. Rawr!
