In Australian slang, "to chuck a wobbly" means to have a sudden outburst of anger, usually involving shouting, frustration, or losing emotional control. It is used in informal Australian English to describe someone reacting strongly to a situation, often in a way others see as exaggerated or unnecessary. The phrase became common in everyday speech during the 20th century, especially in working-class and conversational contexts. "Chuck" is a general slang verb meaning "to throw" or "to do," while "wobbly" refers to something unstable or unsteady, together suggesting a loss of emotional stability or control.
