Bonus Point:
If someone bellows, they shout angrily in a loud, deep voice. When a large animal such as a bull or an elephant bellows, it makes a loud and deep noise. If you constantly bellow at other drivers on the road, consider signing up for anger management classes. "Bellows" is also a noun, referring to devices used to blow air into a fire to make it burn more fiercely.
Fun with the Word:
"Bellow" comes from Middle English and means "to roar like a bull." A cow's deep moo is called a low, so bellow just adds a big angry bull to the standard moo. We use "bellow" for human speech that has the angry power of a loud bovine, or for any loud, threatening noise.
