Question

philippic Every few days he launches another philippic against teenagers: their ridiculous clothes, their abominable manners, their ghastly music. fɪˈlɪpɪk

Accepted Answer

A speech full of bitter condemnation; a tirade. In 351–350 B.C., the great Greek orator Demosthenes delivered a series of speeches against King Philip II of Macedon, the so-called philippikoi logoi (“speeches regarding Philip”). Three centuries later, in 44–43 B.C., the great Roman orator Cicero delivered a series of speeches against Mark Antony, which soon became known as the philippica or orationes philippicae, since they were modeled on Demosthenes' attacks. Splendid though both men's speeches were, Demosthenes was eventually exiled by the Macedonians, and Cicero was executed at Mark Antony's orders
