EN: shouting match
This is when the shouting is no longer a one-way street; it's a full-blown traffic jam of yelling. A sigawan is a shouting match. Think of your neighbors having a 'discussion' at 2 AM, or the climax of a family reunion where old resentments are finally aired out... loudly.
From 'sigaw' (shout) + '-an' (reciprocal action/locale suffix).
