Description
A tradition that involves students screaming at exactly 9:00 pm on the Sunday night prior to finals week every quarter as a way of relieving stress and tension before their exams.
Usage
This term is mostly used by students towards the end of each quarter, but anyone can use it.
Example Sentence
I really wanted to do Primal Scream this quarter, but I was studying and didn't check the time until 9:15.
Why It's Wild
This term is wild because it refers to a uniquely Northwestern tradition. CaptainKirk (talk) 16:51, 5 June 2017 (CDT)
