HISSY FIT

A “hissy fit” is a temperamental outburst; a hysterical tantrum involving hissing and spluttering.  In 2004, The Daily Mirror reported Sir Elton John's arrival at Taipei airport:  "Sir Elton, who arrived by private jet for the final concert of a Far East tour, clenched his teeth in fury when he saw a crowd waiting for him at the airport. Exploding in an extraordinary hissy fit, the 57-year-old star raved: "You're all rude, vile pigs!"

A “tizzy fit” is when a baby freaks out, regardless of the age. A tizzy fit could involve knocking something off of something or screaming loudly into someone's ear.

“A conniption fit,” writes one blogger, “is a true fit, with flailing arms, shouting, gnashing of teeth, and stomping of feet. There is often colorful profanity and coarse language, or there may merely be inchoate roaring. Such fits are brief, and are usually associated with overt physical gestures.

 

To have a “nip fit” is to go absolutely ape shit, as in, "My mum caught me and David doing it on the couch and had a total nip fit."

"Conipshit" is a combination of the words in the phrase "conniption fit."

We had our business mail forwarded to our house twenty-nine days ago and it isn’t happening yet.  The forwarding Post Office said it’s somewhere “in the system.”  My home Post Office said when they see it they’ll deliver it.  The USPS Customer Service lady said she would report it to the Research Department.  The Research Department lady said that in the olden days they could have gone in and gotten my mail out of the stack to be processed, but nowadays with this NEWER, FASTER FASTER SYSTEM, they can’t do that. 

I had a tiz-hissy conipshit!
