Etymology: "Squallers" is simply the plural of "squaller," which is formed from "squall" with the suffix "-er." The suffix, which marks a person or thing that performs an action, turns the verb-like sense of "squall" (to cry out loudly or noisily) into a noun for someone who does so. The result is a name for a person who keeps up a loud, noticeable protest, which is why the word suits someone who is always complaining where others can hear.
