[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 evangelize. 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.
