The scream expresses explosive joy, the kind of reaction nobody holds back when good news hits all at once: a last-minute goal, bad news that flips into a pleasant surprise, a bet won against all odds. People bring it back mostly to underline an unexpected win, stressing the intensity of the moment rather than how important it really is, with a touch of self-mockery about their own excitement.
