Blubberer

A 'blubberer' is a person who cries excessively, often in a loud and unrestrained manner. This behavior is frequently associated with emotional distress, sadness, or self-pity. The term implies a lack of control over one's emotions, leading to copious tears and audible sobs. The degree of emotional outburst is often disproportionate to the perceived cause. A blubberer's crying can be seen as an exaggerated display of feelings, sometimes viewed negatively due to the intensity and potential attention-seeking nature of the display. The word is also used as a derogatory term.
