Blubbers are commonly associated with tears and crying, but there are various synonyms that can be used to describe this bodily reaction. For instance, weep and sob are two commonly used alternates that help to convey a similar meaning. Snivel and bawl are also used, the former being used typically in reference to softer sniffling sounds, while the latter is associated with louder, wailing cries. Whimper, blubber, and moan also encompass the same concept of crying and are often used interchangeably. No matter which word is chosen, all of these synonyms convey a sense of emotional pain and distress.
