I'm not going to see the movie, so fill me in. What was "I'm a screamer" supposed to mean?

If you are not willing to see the movie then why care? If you are willing to find out then find out.

A "screamer" was one of the pioneer's slang terms for felis concolor , the mountain lion or cougar. Some other terms were 'catamount' (cat of the mountain) , 'painter' (panther)...I think there were at least 25 slang terms for that animal, that's all I can remember.

Here's a link to a short page which will give the answaer about "I'm a screamer."
p.s. I won't be seeing this movie either.

My understanding is that "I'm a screamer" was colloquial at the time and meant something on the order of "I'm a bad-a$$". Something like that, anyway.
