What it means
Means absolutely fuming, like you’re one minor inconvenience away from writing an email to the universe. But it can also mean something is class or the craic is flying, especially when you’re talking about a night out. Same word, opposite moods, so you’ve got to read the room or you’ll sound like a gobshite.
Usage examples
"I was raging when the bus sailed on, but later in the pub the craic was raging, pints flowing, DJ blaring, everyone skitting."
"She was raging when the taxi never showed and she missed the only train of the morning."
"He's raging about the parking ticket, been muttering about the council for a solid hour now."
