screamer

Inland Northwest/Northern Rockies (most notably Billings, MT) derogatory term for Native Americans. Often thought to derive from their cultural battle cries while playing basketball (see rez ball) but that is merely coincidental, it actually comes from the reaction one has to their emerging from the darkness and knocking on your car window to ask for money while you're going through Hardee's drive-thrus in the middle of the night.

Roll up the window and lock the doors bro, a screamer just popped out of those bushes.
