What does「ｺﾞｸﾘ」mean?
ゴクリ (ごくり) is an onomatopoeia for swallowing down something once, in this case,
saliva ( _*gulp*_ ). It is used to suggest that someone sees something
"tasty", or holds breath expecting something. Written in [halfwidth
katakana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-width_kana) in the end of a
sentence because it is a long-standing format for short text elements in
Japanese memes. While the onomatopoeia has many variants like ごくっ, ごっくり etc.,
I have only seen it in particular forms ｺﾞｸ or ｺﾞｸﾘ as internet slang.
