Original in French:
In French, "cri" means cry in the sense of "shout, yell", not sob, tear up.
In Englishing it can also have that meaning.
yup, i think i wrote that :-)
edit: ah i know what you meant, yeah in English it has all the meanings, in French only the yelling one. Though you can add a descriptive to give more context: un cri de détresse (wailing), un cri d'alarme (alarm call), un cri de guerre (war cry)
Un cri d'omelette ~~de~~ au fromage
