rant
|

|

1. To persist in discussing a specific subject. 2. To speak authoritatively
|
||||
on a subject about which one knows very little. 3. To complain to a person
|
||||
who is not in a position to correct the difficulty. 4. To purposely annoy
|
||||
another person verbally. 5. To evangelize. See flame. 6. Also used to
|
||||
describe a less negative form of blather, such as friendly bullshitting.
|
||||
Ranting differs slightly from flaming in that to rant implies that it is
|
||||
the persistence or obliviousness of the person speaking that is annoying,
|
||||
while flame implies somewhat more strongly that the tone or content is
|
||||
offensive as well.
