A phenomena in which a nerd enters a state of mind, in which they can no longer keep their thoughts in and decide to go to an open forum, a blog or anything similar and write out their thoughts, even though to most of the audience reading those thoughts will not be able to understand what they're ranting about clearly, usually it results in a jumbled wall of text and contradictions. These thoughts are only relevant to the nerd, even if you understand them.
"I'm unsure if I should get this processor, it'll boost my GHZ to 4.6, but I could just as easily buy this other processor that will only put it to 3.2 but will work better with this motherboard I'm looking at." - Rough Example of a Nerd's Rant.
When you are so over the current year and all you can do is rant about it. You wish so desperately that it is a new year so you can get a fresh start and hopefully better circumstances.
Person 1: I am sick of this year. Wish it was next year already.
Person 2: Oh you're having a year rant again! Here we go!
when people get caught up in an Internet argument or flame war and sink deeper and deeper into a pit of ugliness and shame (while their friends stand by silently or urging them desperately to climb out of the hole they've dug for themselves) they are inevitably consumed by the 'rant lion.'
Mike and Pat argued about Republicans vs. Democrats again on each other's Facebook, starting out courteously and fairly, but of course it quickly descended into a pit of vitriol and personal ugliness: fresh meat for the rant lion.
An advanced form of complaint(s) usually involving painfully extensive, random, combative, neurotic and seemingly pointless arguments.
I can't believe this asshole went on a 3 hour power-rant about egg salad sandwiches at the DMV.
talk about stuff which has been going on infront of the microphone for no apparent reason
Jayden - "why do you listen to the im-rant show?"
Mia - "I like when he is im-ranting."
Akin to a ministered surmon.
A laborsome, albeit somewhat amusingly skewed compilation of conjecture, misunderstandings, Bible quotes, Fox News "facts", hocus-pocus, psuedo-science and fairy-tales. Usually involving loose, air-borne saliva and the use of a snot-rag.
See liberal rant.
My neighbor wouldn't shut-up about his pastor's town-hall meeting on liberals. His conservative rant lasted two whole minutes. Thank God for the Star Spangled Banner. I thought he'd never stop. My friend and I got back to the game just before kick-off.

An extended explanation usually regarding a social injustice, corporate incompetence/arrogance, or technical folly. The argument is well formed, logical and rational but delivered with staggeringly quick pace and heightened emotion often leaving the ranter breathless and agitated.
Did you hear that, my mom totally went on a molly rant about her mp3 player not playing her songs due to crappy DRM!
