blubberings
Loud crying episodes
Blubberings are instances of crying noisily and messily, with tears, snot, and uncontrolled sobbing.
The word carries a dismissive or unsympathetic tone, suggesting the crying is excessive or undignified: I had no patience for his blubberings.
Children blubber; adults who do so may be mocked for it.
