flipping a shit

Definition

To become extremely upset, excited, or angry in the most unhinged way possible—basically the profanity-enhanced version of 'flipping out.' When something is SO dramatic that normal emotional reactions simply won't suffice, you flip a shit. It's what you do when you're genuinely coming unglued.

Example Usage

My dad flipped a shit when he found out I scratched his car, and my girlfriend was flipping a shit yesterday when I came home late from work.
