Hi everybody,
I have found the idioms, meaning "get angry" in Russian dictionary:
To go ballistic (You have already helped me with it in theme "To go ballistic");
To blow a fuse/ gasket;
To fly off the handle;
To lose one’s rag;
To lose one’s shirt;
To lose one’s temper;
To fly to a tantrum;
To go/ jump off the deep end;
To breathe fire over smth.;
To flip one’s lid;
To froth/ foam at the mouth;
To see red.
Are they really used in UK, USA or Australia nowdays? And how often?
Are there any differences in their using (maybe, different situations or reasons of getting angry)?
Many Thanks to everyone!
Olya
