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. |
