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.
