The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
"To state excitedly, verbosely and candidly." This was the original page content (except that it said "describe", not "state"; I've changed that since clearly it doesn't mean "describe" and you wouldn't "proclaim" a film's plot to a confused friend). The other more recently added sense, "announce or declare", seems to cover whatever this was trying to convey. Equinox ◑ 17:55, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
