An exclamation expressing frustration, annoyance, or exasperation. Often used to convey irritation when words fail.
A relatively modern exclamation, possibly derived from 'argh' used to express pirate-like frustration in popular culture. The shortened form 'arg' emerged in informal writing and internet communication as a quick expression of annoyance.
While 'arg' might seem like meaningless noise, it represents a fascinating aspect of human communication - how we use non-lexical sounds to convey complex emotions. These interjections often transcend language barriers because they're more about tone and emotion than meaning.
