Referendum Rage 

Refers to the mass outpouring of anger and idiotic statements from the losers of the British EU referendum in 2016.

"Its just the referendum rage talking. You know that when only 31.56 per cent of 18-24 year olds bother voting you can't say its the older generations pulling you out against your will."
