| 释义 | vociferous (once / 3451 pages) adj Vociferous describes loudmouths, such as the vociferous mob at the soccer game. Vociferous is from the Latin vociferari meaning "to shout, yell."

Vociferous isn't just loud, but annoying, too, like when the vociferous fans of the opposing team chant insults in unison. Try yanking a cookie out of a little kid's hand if you want to hear a vociferous reaction.
