Grrreat: adjective and verb. There are two possible definitions for the word and depending on which one it is one wants to use, the pronunciation changes.
1. The adjective (yes, the one that may have been INCORRECTLY used on the cereal box) is read as "great" with a long "r." Contrary to popular belief, it is not simply a synonym for the word great; it is a word that denotes food liked by tigers, i.e. meat and stuff (someone should really conduct an experiment to see whether tigers actually like cereal).
2. As a verb, the word is read as "grrr, eat!" and is often used by tiger mothers to force their offspring to eat.
