countable usually singular, uncountable

Dear Alan
I use Longman English dictionary and I am not sure what it means: "countable usually singular, uncountable".
An example is a word "outcry" and they use "an outcry" which is clear. But are they "many" or "much" outcries? Is it possible to use "outcries"?
I understand what means what is an uncountable noun and what is a countable noun. But I do not understand the mix.
I thank you for your reply in advance.
Kind regards
Bighug
