Alex, to "rail" means to complain strongly or persistently about something. When you "rail on" you persist and persist and persist in your complaining.
My mother had a professor who railed on about insurance for the whole class period. If they didn't want to study that day, someone would just bring up insurance, and he'd go off on an everlasting rant.
I had a music teacher in elementary school who would rail on about the difference between the affluence we kids grew up in compared to the poverty he saw in Korea during the war. I also had a nun in junior high who used to rail on about the depravity of the teenagers of the day. It would go on for an hour every week. She never taught us anything she was supposed to. |
