screams
Piercing vocal outbursts
Screams is the plural of scream—a loud, sharp cry expressing fear, pain, or excitement.
Beyond literal shrieks, screams describes anything that demands attention: The headline screams scandal.
Something that screams a quality displays it unmistakably: The décor screams money.
In slang, if something is screams, it's hilarious: That video is screams.
