What does SCREAM mean in Scrabble?
verb
To let out a loud, high, piercing cry, usually from fear, pain or strong excitement.
A scream is longer and more sustained than a simple shout and is understood to come from alarm, anger or thrill, as on a fairground ride. The word spreads easily to things that are not human: a siren can scream, and so can brakes or an engine at full revving. As a noun it also describes a person or event that is wildly funny, as in the phrase "a scream".
