Definition of meow meow

meo meo

/ˈmjaʊ mjaʊ//ˈmjaʊ mjaʊ/

The word "meow" is the common vocalization made by domesticated cats to communicate with humans and other cats. While the exact origin of the word "meow" is not entirely known, there are a few theories. One theory suggests that "meow" is derived from the Chinese word "miaow," which is the sound a kitten makes. This theory suggests that the word spread to Europe through trade routes, where it was eventually adopted by English speakers. Another theory suggests that "meow" is a corruption of the Old English word "myow," which was used to imitate a cat's sound. Regardless of its origin, the use of "meow" as a word to describe the vocalizations of cats became a part of the English language in the 1700s. In earlier times, other words were used to describe a cat's noise, such as "purr," "gibber," and "mew." However, "meow" has since become the standard term in the English-speaking world for the sound a cat makes. The usage of "meow meow" to denote multiple meows by a cat has become a common colloquial expression, usually used to indicate a persistent demand by the cat for attention or food. Overall, the origin of the word "meow" remains a topic of debate among linguists, but its significance in the world of cats and their human companions is clear.
