When anyone shouts a single word hard and loud (although that one word can be shouted more than once), for various reasons, as long as the reason is other than actually needing to shout. If someone is shouting because of a noisy room, someone is far away, or that someone is barking out orders, it doesn't count.
If the word is someone's name, this often takes the form of a Skyward Scream.
If any other word is included, even if it's not shouted, it doesn't count as this trope.
A Sub-Trope of Chewing the Scenery.
A Super-Trope to:
- Atomic F-Bomb
- Big "NEVER!"
- Big "NO!"
- Big "OMG!"
- Big "SHUT UP!"
- Big "WHAT?!"
- Big "WHY?!"
- Big "YES!"
- "You!" Exclamation
- "You!" Squared
Compare Gasp!, Say My Name, Calling Your Attacks, Metal Scream, Death Wail, Punctuated! For! Emphasis! (those three would be subtropes, but use more than one word).
Kiai is a variant of this, when used as Kung-Foley.
