Yell
Shetland Islands parish
Yell is to cry out loudly, usually from strong emotion—pain, fear, anger, or excitement: She yelled for help.
A yell is such a cry.
Yelling often implies loss of composure: Stop yelling at me!
In sports, organized yells are cheers: The cheerleaders led the crowd in a yell.
