Ranting   Ranting meaning completely lost in the spray of painful words you have hurled at another in your fit of spiteful anger and pain. your ire is wasted on deaf ears and you will soon find that it now has no meaning. listen to yourself as you continue to rant. can you understand what you are saying in the middle of the onslaught? words lose all comprehension and are no more than a blur if you do not listen.
