How to use "Rant" in context?
Rant. When we think of the word, we typically think about people who are angry and outburst for no reason. Sometimes the rant is warranted and the person is legitimately mad, but other times the rant is just someone's way of filling up air time and lacking any sort of constructive criticism. Rants can be entertaining to watch, but they're not always effective or useful. Every now and then, though, a rant can actually be helpful. They can be cathartic, and they can provide us with a way to share our frustrations and emotions in a way that is communal and shareable.
