Eagle Screech

The eagle screech — the piercing cry that Hollywood attached to every bald eagle and America attached to everything else. It plays over flags, freedom, trucks, and fireworks; the meme usage adds grills, questionable patriotism, and anyone doing something aggressively American. Fun fact: real bald eagles sound much less impressive — this screech is usually a red-tailed hawk. The legend endures anyway.

Origin: The iconic 'eagle' screech (usually a red-tailed hawk in reality), meme shorthand for America.
