SQUEALED Meaning and
Definition
-
Squealed is a verb that refers to the act of emitting a high-pitched, sharp, and often shrill sound, resembling that of a squeak. This sound is typically produced by animals or humans, often involuntarily and as a result of pain, fear, excitement, or surprise. When an animal squeals, it is commonly associated with hurt or distress, such as when a pig squeals when it is being handled or when a mouse squeals in response to being pursued by a predator. Similarly, humans may squeal when experiencing a sudden jolt of pain or when startled by something unexpected, like a loud noise or a surprise.
The term "squealed" can also be used metaphorically to describe a sound that is sharp, high-pitched, and shrill in non-literal contexts. For example, a loud car tire screeching can be described as squealing, or a musician can make their electric guitar squeal by playing a note that produces feedback.
Additionally, "squealed" can be used in a figurative sense to describe someone divulging information or secrets, typically in a way that is perceived as betraying trust or in an attempt to avoid punishment. In this context, it implies an act of revealing sensitive or confidential information in a manner that is considered inappropriate or disloyal.
