English term (edited):
What got your panties on a twist?
Selected
O que é que se passa?/ Qual é o problema?
"What got your panties on a twist?" means "what has upset you?" - because if your panties are all twisted you'll be uncomfortable, bothered, so I would translate it as:
"O que é que se passa?/Qual é o problema? "
If I think of something even I'll add a note, but this is the meaning.

I\'ve thought of another expression which is better perhaps as it’s is more idiomatic and so more like the English, if you know what I mean ?
\"Que bicho te mordeu?\"
