flip out on someone "If you ask me a single question, I'm going to flip out on you."

Re: flip out on someone Hmm. I can't really agree with Sharon on this. When you flip out, you not only get angry, but you ACT angry - you yell, rant, rave, maybe even throw things. There are definitely actions associated with your emotional response.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

not a teacher Yup, "flip out" implies visibly and demonstrably angry.

Re: flip out on someone Not teacher
It can mean to reach the breaking point.
If you keep poking that animal in its cage, it will flip out and attack you.
