Etymology
From catch + cry.
Meanings
-
A slogan, particularly one intended for mass repetition.
Monotonous, frequently quite incomprehensible to the dark mass, these catchcries filled the columns of all the papers born as the offspring of the Pravda and German gold; they acted like a curse, rousing, infuriating, confusing the more sincere and the more honest.
1918, Arkady Joseph Sack, The Birth of the Russian Democracy, page 528:
