Pronunciation: [ahb-'stre-pê-rês] Listen
Definition: Uncontrollably loud hence unruly, uncontrollable. Also boisterously defiant.
[@more@]Suggested Usage: Impress your buddies at the poker game by substituting this expressive adjective for clichés like 'raise hell', 'raise Cain': If you guys get any more obstreperous, you'll have to leave. I wonder why the bartender seldom says things like: If things get any more obstreperous, I'll have to bring out me baseball bat? Wouldn't it add to the local pub's atmosphere?
Etymology: Latin obstreperus (from obstrepere-: ob- 'against' + strepere 'make a noise') + -us.
