Preeeeow...

Preeeeow is an onomatopoeia used to describe The Paper's sound effect as it comes down. Saying it often signals the end of an email, and characters use it as a verbal cue for The Paper to come do its thing. Strong Bad first made use of it in autobiography, and it has reappeared a couple of times since. Strong Bad is usually the one using it, although Marzipan has said it once in garage sale. Matt Chapman mentioned it in the DVD commentary for replacement when The Paper came down.

It also appeared on a note taped to Mrs. Bennedetto in part-time job, offering Strong Bad's "official" spelling of the word as seen in the image on right. While there is no canonical spelling, the onomatopoeia does contain a variable number of the letters "e" and "r". For consistency, the wiki will refer to the version with eight letters.
