The Screaming Gazelle 

The act of leaping around your house, completely naked, masturbating and screaming at the same time. This should be performed late at night.

Friend: EWWWWWWWW

internal screaming 

When someone seems to be content and has a normal expression, but in reality they are silently screaming for reasons like boredom, anger, fear, etc.
1. Doing internal screaming can happen when you see something extremely cringeworthy
2. The lesson was so fucking boring that i had to internally scream

The Chain of Screaming 

A Theory Made up by Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) stating that there is a chain/cycle of screaming in which one (original screamer) yells at someone else, then that person yells at another person and another and another, so on and so forth. This chain/cycle will eventually lead back to the original screamer, ending the Chain of Screaming. AKA The Circle of Screaming or The Pyramid of Screaming.
Example: Arthur’s boss’s boss screams at Arthur’s boss, Arthur’s boss screams at Arthur, Arthur screams at Marshall, Marshall goes home and screams at his wife, Lily,Lily (a kindergarten teacher) screams at one of the kids in her kindergarten class (hmm, let’s say Mary), and then Mary goes home and screams at her dad, Arthur’s boss’s boss, thus ending The Chain of Screaming.

In space, no one can hear you scream. 

This is the tagline for the film Alien, which was directed by Ridley Scott, not James Cameron, as currently stated on this site. Cameron directed the sequel, Aliens.
"In space, no one can hear you scream." is on e of the most quoted and parodied timelines in film history. It would have been more accurate if applied to Cuaron's Gravity, in which the silence of space plays a role in the narrative.

After slipping into the cozy warm bed and snuggling up next to their lover a prankster played the old screamsicle trick and nearly gave the surprised partner a heart attack.
