Hectoring is when someone uses a bullyingtone to give direction. An aggressive way of telling someone what to do.
Matt: "Mrs Brown was hectoring me so much today about handing in the assignment."
Sam: "Mate, you should just hand it in, save yourself from hearing her go on and on about it."
normally atributed to a breed of bar fights/martial arts hardcore gamers that enjoy pokemon, zelda and FFVII. An hectorian knows all the facts that freak people out about those games, sometimes he freaks himself out, but enjoys beating a hobo senseless.
hectorian:"i fucking hate this hobo, I'M GOING TO KILL HIM..."
(5 minutes later)
hectorian:"ok my little friends lets trade pokemons!!!"
When someone lashes and is more grouchy than happy for the smallest of things, a person who is hectoring usually shuts themselves off from the outside world after having a rant or tantrum. The Act of hectoring is also how quickly a person can get upset and how abruptly their tone of voice goes from calm to angry in a matter of seconds.
Roommate 1: Hey, I forgot to take the trash out today, sorry dude.
Roommate 2: WHAT THE HELL, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!!!
Roommate 1: I said sorry dude, I completely forgot.
Roommate 2: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE, LEAVE ME ALONE!!! (walks away)
Roommare 1: Geesh..that escalated quickly, I wish he would stop hectoring and just get over it.
