InformalWhat is the origin of the idiom "hissy fit" and when to use it?
The origin of the phrase "hissy fit" is believed to be rooted in American slang, particularly in the Southern United States. It emerged in the early 20th century and gained popularity in the mid-20th century. It can be used to depict someone throwing a tantrum, shouting, crying, or engaging in other attention-seeking behavior. The term is frequently employed in a somewhat lighthearted or humorous manner, often with a touch of criticism or mockery, to highlight the excessive and irrational nature of the emotional outburst.
Example

Nang sinabi ko sa aking maliit na kapatid na hindi siya pwedeng kumuha ng pangalawang scoop ng sorbetes, nagkaroon siya ng sudden outburst na sinamahan ng luha at pag- stomp ng mga paa.
