Referendum Rage
Refers to the mass outpouring of anger and idiotic statements from the losers of the British EU referendum in 2016. Symptoms include signing online petitions calling for another referendum or calling for London to declare its independence from the rest of the UK, crying to your friends on Facebook about how life is just so unfair, smashing your TV when Nigel Farage comes on, and in the most extreme cases: resigning as Prime Minister.
