Shout

Shout: "A motivational phrase that benefits you and nearby allies, or hinders nearby enemies."

When using a shout (those with double quotes in the name), everyone will see the shout name as a speech bubble above the user.

Multiples of the same shout do not stack, whether used by yourself or another player. Shouts don't have activation times and therefore it cannot be intentionally interrupted. Because they are not stances or enchantments, they cannot be removed unless the person dies.

Many of the shouts in Guild Wars can be interpreted as references to Geek Pop Culture.
 * "Shields Up!": Star Trek, Star Wars, Most Space Action movies/books.
 * "To the Limit!": Homestarrunner.com's video Everybody to the Limit! (Come on Fhqwhgads)
 * "For Great Justice!": The badly translated game Zero Wing, and the All Your Base flash video that it spawned.
 * "I Will Survive!": The song of the same title, by Gloria Gaynor.
 * "Victory is Mine!": A phrase frequently uttered by the homicidal baby genius Stewie on the television show "Family Guy."
 * "None Shall Pass!": The phrase said by the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
 * "It's just a flesh wound.": Another phrase from the Black Knight.
 * Otyugh's Cry: A fairly popular Dungeons and Dragons monster, called an Otyugh.
 * "Killroy Stonekin": A take on a famous shout of a character called Leeroy Jenkins in World of Warcraft
 * "Go for the Eyes!": From the battle cry of Minsc of Baldur's Gate fame, as he commanded his pet hampster, Boo.
 * "Never Give Up!" "Never Surrender!": Both from the Star Trek spoof, Galaxy Quest.
