Exclamation made with a shiver

BRR

Think of the sound you might make when stepping outside on a freezing winter morning or feeling a sudden chill. It’s short, sharp, and often paired with rubbing your arms for warmth.

This clue plays on the sound people make when they're suddenly cold—a quick, shivering "brr!" that mimics the answer itself. The word is onomatopoeic, meaning it sounds like what it describes, so the clue directly hints at the noise rather than a hidden meaning. It’s a straightforward example where the answer is the exact exclamation you’d blurt out on a chilly day.
