A sound that can be heard following any major loss by the Cincinnati Bengals. Thought to be caused by the constructive interference of over
2 million fans whining in unison. Sometimes the sound is said to to sound like actual
crying. Other times, the sound seems to produce distinct phrases. Some of the most common phrases are “the Steelers are dirty”, “the refs cheated
us”, and “this one
may hurt more than____” (where, due to the team’s historic lack of tangible success, Bengals fans
will recant one of many squandered opportunities ).
