Talk:vent one's spleen

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense: "To state clearly, and often angrily, a complaint that one has been keeping quiet about."

As I understand the expression, "clarity" is not essential to the def.; anger is. Also, the target of one's spleen may not be the cause of the anger or even connected to it. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 03:52, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I've removed it anyway. It seems to be redundant to the first definition, but not as well written. Anyone want to contest my decision? Do so. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Striking as RFV failed, since although it's not obvious from Mglovesfun's comment, he removed the sense with the edit summary "2nd def fails RFV", more than a month after it was listed here. —Ruakh TALK 23:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
