gorogoro_(sfx)


ごろごろ

*Roll roll...*


Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of rolling. Most often used to express the *rumbling* sound of "rolling" thunder in the distance, and as such is the usual go to SFX for *bad weather*.

Other uses include:

  • Rumbling sound. Less intense than *gogogo*
  • SFX for a 'rolling' action, even if it's soundless.
  • SFX for 'idling away time'. As though someone is lying on the ground, rolling to-and-fro doing nothing.
    • Often this is accompanied with literal rolling.
  • 'SFX' for someone or something with a "roly-poly" figure. Most often a fat, small-sized dog.
  • A growling sound.
  • A purring sound.

Variants include *koro koro*, *goron goron* and multiple different permutations of *goro*, *goron* and *koro* (and other variants). Use this same tag for all of them.
