Definitions and meanings of "Vituperating"

What do we mean by vituperating?

To criticize in a harsh or abusive manner.

To revile, vilify, defame, go on about or mouth off about someone

To use harsh or abusive wording.

Vituperation is defined as 'sustained, harshly critical language', but it is rather more than that. When used effectively vituperation makes the person on the receiving end wish that the earth would open up and swallow them whole and the people not on the receiving think "Thank fuck that wasn't me!" However, at it's very best vituperation makes the person who is subject to it dissolve into an amoeba and crawl away to hide under the carpet, while the people not subject to it marvel at the aptness of the description and dissolve into helpless laughter. Urban Dictionary

The worst bitch you've ever met in your life Someone who doesn't like anyone except their best friends and is known to have violent mood swings Urban Dictionary
