Scream-whisper

When wanting to yell at someone, but the atmosphere doesn't allow, you simply scream-whisper, by whispering with a strain in your voice.

The strain allows your voice to sound as if you are actually screaming, even though you are barely audible.

Mothers are particularly experts at scream-whispering
When mom got pissed at Scott, she pulled him aside at the party and scream-whispered at him.

whisper scream 

An oxymoron grammatically, a whisper scream is rather appropriately named. Whisper screams are imitations of especially long, drawn out, exaggerated, overly theatrical screams through short sequences of whispers. This is often an expression of torment, rage, extreme delight (or other emotions) in a simple-to-do manner that is easy on the ears of the audience and easy on the vocal chords of the whisper screamer. Sometimes done with the purpose of creating comedy for the listener.
Dude 1: Please stop whisper screaming in response to my misfortunes. I've got physical training tomorrow and I need to get some sleep.

Dude 2: Okay, sure, I understand... NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (whispering)

Dude 1: Please stop. Please... (crying softly)

A whisper to a scream 

Love come down upon us till you flow like water
Burning with the hope of insight
Feathered, look they're covered with a bright elation
Stolen in the sight of love
We are we are we are
but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are we are we are
Rather helpless
Take us forever
A whisper to a scream
Birds fly
In the eyes of the faithless daughter
Broken
At the bitter end
Wasted
Sacrificed for a new nirvana
Nighttime sends us on our way
We are we are we are
But your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are we are we are
Rather helpless
Take us forever
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream

whisper-stream 

A term describing the method by which information (whether true or false) flows through a society. Suggestive of the secrecy as well as the unpredictable and unstoppable nature of informal communication. Coined by author Andrew Vachss and first published in his book "Born Bad." The term differs from grapevine, which suggests individual truths, passed from person to person.
You can't trust everything you hear from the underground — the whisper-stream vacuums up everything, gold to garbage.

-"False Allegations" by Andrew Vachss (1997)

whisper-stream 

A term coined by Andrew Vachess author of the Burke series, meant to be a term for underground information, but in reality Vachess has no clue what hes talking about and ends up making a fool out of himself and only complete morons living a sheltered life would find his novels intresting.
Dont ever a read a Burke novel by Vachess he will start rambling about the whisper-stream or something stupid like that
