What's this all about?
rant, n.
[f. the vb.]
1. A high-flown, extravagant, or bombastic speech or utterance; a piece of turgid declamation; a tirade.
2. Extravagant or bombastic language or sentiments; magniloquent and empty declamation.
Well, the first two OED definitions should suffice. I'm a translator (and localizer, and more often than not a DTP-monkey [no disrespect intended to DTP profession!]), and for those who are in the same boat as me, the need to vent some steam from time to time should be something quite familiar.
So, rants it is!
