What does SHOUT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say something loudly and forcefully, especially to gain attention or express strong feeling; also used as a noun for such a loud call, and, informally in British and Australian English, for the act of buying a round of drinks.
Someone who shouts across a crowded room raises their voice well beyond ordinary conversation, whether out of excitement, anger, warning or simple distance from the listener. British and Australian speakers extend the noun in a very different, purely social direction, so it is my shout means the speaker intends to pay for the next round of drinks at a bar, a friendly custom of taking turns. The phrasal expression shout out has grown especially common in informal speech and online writing, where giving someone a shout out means publicly acknowledging or thanking them. Because shout always implies unusual loudness, writers often reach for it specifically to signal urgency, excitement or the need to be heard over noise or distance.
How SHOUT is used
