| Oct 25 at 15:18 | comment | added | Lambie | @Chenmunka That is your opinion. I think a dictionary definition does provide an answer. Anyway, the other answer was chosen and I have three downvotes, so I don't understand why it even matters. And I don't agree with this from the other answer, anyway: The phrase can be used figuratively to describe a late-breaking change of plans, and doesn't require literally calling out in a loud voice. | |

| Oct 22 at 19:51 | comment | added | Lambie | Yes, but I think a formal definition is better perhaps. And I disagree with the other answer, especially the first paragraph. But you know what's best for you. I think it always is associated with the voice and is a spoken thing. | |
