Crossword Genius

Laugh - or cry (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hoot

howl

This clue is a double definition.

'laugh' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cry' is the second definition.
(I know that hoot is a type of cry)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for hoot that I've seen before include "Sound of owl" , "Bird call; funny thing" , "noise made by 7 [WOOD-OWL]" , "Funny thing (informal);bird call" , "Honk - laugh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Evening Standard.
