Oh my....
It was a little tongue-in-cheek my comment about the Basenji looking "pudgy". All 3 dogs appeared well fed. (or hey.... maybe the painter used fat brushes.... 😛 )
That was the extent of my "analysis".

I think "gggg" is like a growl sound….like your "mad"..like a dog..but I might be wrong.

LOL Pat glad you explained cause I thought just a bunch of grins but funny some thought you were growling!
I use DH, but the first part isn't dear and the 2nd isn't husband. Hm… Richard Cerebellum covers it. Speaking of which, one day he came home from playing ball and said sadly... a DH here and a DH there today (he had left garbage can open so I wasn't happy when he walked in door after an hour of cleaning up trash and mopping). I looked confused... "Designated Hitter" he said sadly.

WTHAATI= "what the hell are all these initials?" I just made that up.:D

So funny that we all had our interpretations of Tanza's "ggg" …
In my head, it sounded like a version of the Muttley laugh (you know, from those old Hanna Barbera cartoons?). Except more "gk gk gk" than wheezy...
-
^ ha! i interpreted it as the giggety giggety laugh of the pervy guy on family guy!
-
Lol.. Tlish I thought the same!

I always imagine Popeye's laugh what I see ggggg.

The first time I ever heard "snarky" was about Basenjis. Now I see it a lot and was asking Debbi if she also suspected the word was invented for Basenjis and spread. Sadly, we were wrong;
Critical in a curmudgeonly sort of way. The adjective snarky is first recorded in 1906. It is from dialectal British snark, meaning 'to nag, find fault with', which is probably the same word as snark, snork, meaning 'to snort, snore'. (The likely connection is the derisive snorting sound of someone who is always finding fault.) Most dictionaries label snarky as "Chiefly British Slang." But for the last five or more years, it has become increasingly common in American publications, maybe ones infiltrated by British or Canadian writers and journalists.
And this:
1. Rudely sarcastic or disrespectful; snide.
2. Irritable or short-tempered; irascible.
[From dialectal snark, to nag, from snark, snork, to snore, snort, from Dutch and Low German snorken, of imitative origin.]And this:
Main Entry: snarky
Pronunciation: 'sn?r-kE
Function: adjective
Etymology: dialect snark to annoy, perhaps alteration of nark to irritate
1 : CROTCHETY, SNAPPISH
2 : sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner -

That one is the winner! Good thing I don't text on my cellphone, which I only use for emergencies. It would take me forever to say anything. Yes, I have my feet firmly planted in the 80's, when a cell phone was this huge thing that only contractors and builders seemed to have. That type of cell phone could also be used as a concealed (or not so concealed) weapon!

ROFLMAO, no joke Fran. My friend carried hers in a suitcase thingy!

No kidding, I had one of the very early ones, it was bigger then my land line phone. I had it because I traveled with the dogs to shows and was alone most of the time. Made me feel better that I could call or seriously hurt someone by hitting them with it!
