(also. Lecture-Rant, pronounced Lektcha-rant) An angry lecture that may have an accusatory undertone. A lecture-style scripted performance in which the lecturer consciously speaks truth to power and ignores codes of civility. The word was first introduced at Davidson College (North Carolina) in an event sponsored by the Middle East North Africa Student Association (MENASA).
It wasn't a lecture. It wasn't rant. It was a lecturant.
Perhaps what we need in this postmodern ineptitude is less lectures and more lecturants.
I won't be the subject of your lecturant.
(as a verb) I won't be silent as you lecturant your way out of this mess.
(as a verb) Don't lecturant me.

Words you can keep
Being open and sharing becomes lecturing when you're talking to somebody who wasn't looking for your level of openness, which seems like hypocrisy. Like everyone else, the person you're told you're lecturing is a hypocrite too.
Stop lecturing me, I don't let my friends see my butt hurt in public, you're the butt hurt one!

Lecturati 

That class of people who lecture us on their ideals without any thought to how the practicalities of those ideals affect the rest of us.
After talking down to us for three hours on so-called sustainability the lecturati are heading back in their SUVs to homes in the countryside while I'm on the bus heading back to my shared rental apartment in a tenement block.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
