Outcry

2. A buzzword used for the purposes of generating superficial credibility to further one's agenda; Often levied against a word ending with -ist.

Example 1
Person 1: Did you hear about the outcry over the sexist shampoo ad?
Person 2: Yeah, it was all over mainstream news. At least two people were really pissed about it.

Example 2
Person 1: Do you not see the public outcry against your racist/sexist/capitalist/communist/leftist/rightist actions?
Person 2: Oh? Do you mean the outcry that you just "made up" to make it seem like a bigger deal than it is?

Open Outcry

Trading done by human to human interaction using a combination of hand signals and verbal orders. Often associated with the NYMEX, CME Group, and CBOT. Formally the only way commodities were traded prior to electronic trading.

Becoming less and less popular, many believe that open-outcry trading will become extinct in the next few years.

Chris is using open outcry to buy 30 September Lite Sweet Crude Contracts at $75.85 a barrel.

Standing in the Crude pit, Chris will motion his hands and yell out:
"85 on 30!"
