Definition
To angrily give up on something, especially in the middle of it. From gaming where a player quits the match in a fit of frustration. Now applied to anything: rage-quitting homework, a recipe, assembling IKEA furniture, a conversation. It's quitting, but make it dramatic.
Translation for Parents
They quit something because they were frustrated. Video game, homework, trying to learn TikTok dances, whatever. It's a quit powered by anger rather than logic. You've probably rage-quit assembling something from IKEA. Same energy. Your kid just has a word for it now.
Examples
“i rage quit my math homework im done”
“I angrily gave up on my math homework, I'm done trying”
“my mom rage quit cooking and ordered pizza”
“My mom got frustrated cooking and just ordered pizza instead”
