Throwing a "Hissy Fit"

Urban Dictionary: hissy fit

Well this is my wife's favorite [rhymes with Fight] :-) expression when someone gets all bent out of shape

Recently some friends of mine were aghast about a certain pronouncement made by a Jewish Leader and they proceeded to throw a "Hissy Fit"

While they had some reason to take the statement a certain way, the statement - taken out of context - was tough to pin down

Re: another "apparently" outrageous statement, my colleague "RSG" practiced a bit of "Havvu mattunim baddin" and asked some cogent questions

«Could you put the statement in context? It would help understand why the comment was made.
What was the incident?
What was the comment that preceded it?
Was it meant as a guzma?
Was it said in frustration?
In reference to what type of X was the comment made?»


IOW before throwing a "Hissy Fit" some times it pays to verify the nature of the context and the background before acting outraged.

Shalom
