| Text | In this podcast, a "rave review" is a very favorable statement about how good, interesting, or enjoyable something is: "The actors were very pleased when their performance on opening night got rave reviews in the local newspaper." As a verb, "to rave" means to talk excitedly about something one likes, enjoys, or recommends: "Everyone is raving about the new Korean restaurant downtown." Young people use the word "rave" to talk about a very large dance with loud music and illegal drugs: "Why don't the police do anything to stop the raves downtown?" Finally, the phrase "to rant and rave" means to talk about something uncontrollably in a negative way: "I'm tired of hearing Jans rant and rave about how nobody else works as hard as he does." |
