Do they mean showy? I don't really understand those words. 3. What's the difference between "shriek" and  "scream"?   Thanks.   MIA6 Joined on Sat, Mar 4 2006 Full Member 223 Difference Between

Pompous, bombastic, grandiloquent, high-flown, grandiose. Do they have the same meanings? Do they mean showy? I don't really understand those words.  I have to ask - have you looked them up in a dictionary? 3. What's the difference between "shriek" and  "scream"?  Both are inarticulated noises of surprise or shock; a shriek would tend to be short and sharp; a scream is loud and full,   Thanks.   Feebs11 Joined on Thu, Nov 23 2006 UK Veteran Member 5,015 Difference Between
