Pro Tip 1/3
Urgency or Excitement
Used when someone wants to attract immediate attention or express strong emotion. He hollered in excitement as he crossed the finish line.
Pro Tip 2/3
Informal Situations
Most appropriate in casual contexts; considered too informal for serious or formal events. At the concert, everyone hollered along with the music.
Pro Tip 3/3
Volume and Emphasis
Implies a higher volume and sometimes a sense of urgency over 'shout' or 'yell'. Can you holler a bit louder? I didn't hear you the first time.
