Sprockets growl
An expression of annoyance, anger, or disgust (often used when making light of the situation) in the form of a guttural "aaaaaaaargh,” derived from an episode of the Saturday Night Live sketch "Sprockets" (starring Mike Myers as Dieter, the eccentric German talk-show host) that contained the feature "Germany's Most Disturbing Home Videos." The introduction of this sub-sketch featured an old man saying its title and then doing the guttural vocalization while moving his false teeth.
Abbreviated as “{sg}” in electronic communication.
