shoutin'
Raising your voice
Shoutin' is an informal spelling of shouting, representing the dropped g in casual speech.
It appears in dialect writing, song lyrics, and quoted speech to convey a folksy or working-class voice: No use shoutin' at me.
The spelling signals informality rather than any difference in meaning.
