squirrel shout-out 

Where you abruptly snap your head around and irritably bellow, “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!” up into the trees whenever a bushy-tailed nut-gatherer makes a chattering scolding ruckus when you are merely minding your own business and working quietly in your yard. Sometimes this stress-relieving action may actually be performed mostly for the entertainment of others in your vicinity, particularly easily-amused giggly children --- you may indeed be highly irritated by the squirrel's inexplicable/unwarranted noisy tirade, but everyone knows that your own crimson-faced outburst really isn't gonna do much good overall, since squirrels obviously ain't gonna keep quiet just 'cuz you want them to.

Sometimes doing a squirrel shout-out is indeed effective in shutting up dat noisy fur-varmint, at least for a few minutes… guess he’s so non-plussed at my sudden bellowing outburst that he doesn’t know quite what to make of it all. But in any case, I still fail to see what he’s getting so pissed off about in da first place --- I’m not bothering him or even paying him any mind, and I sure as shootin’ ain’t after his precious acorns, so what’s his beef with me, anyhoot???
