EN: a cry or shout (to drive away animals)
This is the OG 'shoo shoo!' sound effect. Before there were scarecrows, there was the farmer's **pasaw**. It's the loud, booming shout you do to scare away the neighbor's chickens from your freshly washed laundry. The vocal equivalent of waving your arms frantically.
Unknown, possibly onomatopoeic.
