hue and cry
A public uproar or protest. This term once denoted an English system of apprehending robbers and other criminals. Neighbors and bystanders were obliged to join a 'hue and cry,' that is, shout and make other noise while a suspect was chased to the bounds of a manor (hue comes from the Old French huer, 'to shout'). Later the term was transferred to any public outcry. John Ruskin used it ironically in Mode Painting (1846): 'The public took up the hue and cry conscientiously enough,' meaning they supported the fashionable view.
