Starts to yell out disrespectful expletives loudly, heard in the alps? (5)
I believe the answer is:
yodel
'heard in the alps?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'starts to yell out disrespectful expletives loudly' is the wordplay.
'starts to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'yell out disrespectful expletives loudly' is 'YODEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yodel that I've seen before include "Sing by alternating between normal voice and falsetto" , "unusual singing" , "Sing (in the Alps)" , "Sing like the Lonely Goatherd?" , "Warbling voice" .)
