hoot

When I shared this story with a friend, she gave a small, sympathetic hoot and said, “Do you want to hear how many times I’ve misplaced my phone this week?”

The audience in Dallas — the city where the comedian began her stand-up career and later set her self-titled network sitcom — hoots and hollers in response.

A crowd came out waving blue and yellow national flags, cheering as the buses carrying the freed men passed hooting their horns.

But us football fans must recognize that not everyone hoots and hollers for the conversion on a long third down or a legendary pick six.

Heard less for the testimony than to hoot at the accompanying circus.
