A "Crier" is a person who publicly announces news or information, often in a loud voice. Historically, criers were employed in towns to share important messages, such as announcements of events, legal matters, or public notices. They played a crucial role in communication before the advent of modern media. In some cultures, criers are still used during ceremonies or festivals to engage the community. The term can also refer to a specific type of bird, known for its distinctive calls, or to someone who expresses emotions openly, often shedding tears in response to feelings of sadness or joy.
