blow a gasket; blow one's cork; blow one's lid; blow one's top; blow one's stack Fig. to explode with anger; to lose one's temper. Come on, don't blow a fuse. Go ahead, blow a gasket! What good will that do?
2. "..THE GUYS IN THE BAND WENT TOTALLY APESHIT!"

Verb 1. hit the ceiling - get very angry and fly into a rage; "The professor combusted when the student didn't know the answer to a very elementary question"; "Spam makes me go ballistic"
que te cagas
(como adj) damn (v. inf), bloody (v. inf) ⇒ ¡en la sierra hace un frío que te cagas! it's bloody freezing in the mountains! (v. inf) ⇒ el jefe tiene una cara que te cagas the boss has got a bloody nerve (v. inf) ⇒ la película estaba que te cagabas the film was bloody brilliant (v. inf) ⇒ la tía estaba que te cagas she was drop dead gorgeous (inf)
