rave

[WPI] 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 evangelise. See flame.

6. Also used to describe a less negative form of blather, such

as friendly bullshitting. "Rave" differs slightly from

flame in that "rave" 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.
