What does TIRADE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, angry speech of criticism or complaint.
A tirade is longer and more forceful than a simple complaint, often building through several points of anger without pause. The word came into English from French, where it originally meant a volley or a burst, which still fits the way a tirade fires off one grievance after another. People usually describe someone else's outburst as a tirade rather than using it for their own words, since it carries a critical edge.
