Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “rave and rant” and its meaning is “to shout angrily and to talk loudly”.
Example Sentence: In general, I am polite over the phone and listen to the caller even when sorely tempted to hang up mid-sentence because it is someone trying to hock (sell) something. But like everybody else, I too have my bad days when a pointless, ill-timed call from a telemarketer is just the invitation I need to let off steam. And then it happens. I rave and rant and try to teach the caller good manners and the inadvisability of calling someone in the middle of work or worse, middle of a nap.
