Definition
to complain or verbally attack in an excited rather than thoughtful way
- I know that some of the girls have told their parents that I deliver "ranting lectures" to them about the United States; some parents have complained to the headmistress, and Katherine has cautioned me to keep my politics out of the classroom—"or at least say something about Canada; BSS girls are Canadians, for the most part, you know."p. 327.0
- In short, I was doing my best to be a Canadian; I wasn't ranting my head off about the goddamn U.S. this or the motherfucking U.S. that!p. 465.3
