hissy fit

noun. A sudden outburst of temper, often used to describe female anger at something trivial. Originally regional from American South. Thought to originate from contraction of "hysterical fit."



hissy fit
A sudden but violent outburst of a person shouting, screaming recriminations and (possibly) wailing, generally short-lived but shocking.

"Hissy fit" used to describe an adult tantrum but now has become an equal opportunity description, young or old, male or female. What they all have in common is no matter how severe the (alleged) offense, there is always some wounded pride involved, and usually an audience of bystanders along with the culprit who allegedly triggered the hissy.

.
Example:
-- "When I told Sarah she couldn't have the doll, she broke down and pitched a major hissy fit. Right there in the toy department at Target!"

--"So when Joe got fired, all he did was throw a hissy fit out in the hall? Terrible. REAL men used to slug each other."

--"She freaked! She had a hissy! She thinks you're the cat's meow." 'Farmer Ted' (Anthony Michael Hall) in movie SIXTEEN CANDLES (1984), describing the Molly Ringwald character's sudden infatuation with a boy two years her senior.

hissy-fits
hissy-fit: Noun, singular and plural possible.

An hysterical rant or tantrum, particularly one completely at odds with the gravity of the situation being protested. Often involves stamping of feet, whining, biting, clawing, and loud, obnoxious, screaming tears. One may "have" or "pull" a hissy-fit.

Children under the age of four tend to collapse into hissy-fits when confronted with adversity, but hissy-fits are by no means limited to a certain age group or gender.
Example:
The spoiled child had a hissy-fit when he couldn't take the kangaroo home.

Little Jamica: Mommy, look at this new stuffed bear!

Meredith: Oh, it's cute! Oh wait, too pricey, honey. So no, don't even think of buying it.
Little Jamica: WHAT?!! NOOOOOOOO!!! WAAAAH!
Meredith: Oh boy, here we go again. One more department-store hissy fit.


hissy fit
An expression of impotent manlet rage. The hissy fit occurs when a petite and effeminate manlet is rightfully rejected by a disgusted women for the billionth time or after the microscopic manlet boy is treed by a chihuahua or mauled by a kitten. Silly and shameful as it certainly is, the hissy fit is the only "weapon" in the stunted manlet's derisory arsenal because he is the same height as a child and nobody will ever take a fuming midget like him seriously.
Example:
Lol, why is that sissy manlet throwing a hissy fit over there? I think the compensating, little manlet boy got a spanking from his mother for stealing her high heels again. Hahahahaha! Manlets, when will they learn?
