ejaculations
Abrupt vocal utterances
Ejaculations are sudden exclamations or outcries—words or phrases uttered abruptly: His ejaculations of surprise startled the room.
This sense appears in older literature, where characters make pious ejaculations like "Good heavens!" The word also refers to discharges of semen during orgasm, which is now the dominant meaning in everyday speech.
