barrack
Heckle from stands
A barrack is a building or group of buildings where soldiers are housed, almost always used in the plural: The troops returned to barracks.
The word extends to any large, plain building housing many people.
As a verb, to barrack means to house in barracks.
In British and Australian English, to barrack is also to jeer or heckle—or confusingly, to cheer for a team: Who do you barrack for?
