hee haws
Loud asinine cries
Hee haws are the braying sounds a donkey makes—a loud, distinctive two-part vocalization.
The term captures the alternating inhale and exhale that produces the animal's signature call.
Extended to humans, hee haws are loud, unrestrained laughs resembling a donkey's bray: His hee haws could be heard across the restaurant.
