LAMBASTS Meaning and Definition

  1. The word "lambasts" is a verb that is often used in an informal or colloquial context. It is the present tense third-person singular form of the verb "lambast," and it is derived from the noun "lambasting." The term "lambasts" refers to the act of strongly criticizing, reprimanding, or attacking someone or something, typically in a vehement or harsh manner.

    When an individual lambasts another person or idea, they express their disapproval or anger by harshly and severely condemning or censuring them. This criticism is often accompanied by the use of strong, exaggerated language or emotional expressions. The purpose of lambasting is to communicate one's outrage or discontent in a forceful and unapologetic manner.

    The act of lambasting can be used in various contexts, such as politics, social issues, or personal relationships. It may occur in public speeches, debates, articles, social media discussions, or even everyday conversations. When one lambasts someone or something, they attempt to vehemently voice their dissatisfaction, expose faults, or highlight perceived weaknesses.

    It is important to note that while lambasting is an assertive form of criticism, it is subjective and can sometimes be seen as an expression of anger rather than a balanced analysis or argument. The term "lambasts" reflects the forceful nature of such criticism and emphasizes its intensity and impact.
