Let\u2019s level up your vocabulary today by learning 44 words and phrases to use instead of \u2018mad\u2019. This list is packed with idioms, we\u2019ll cover British English expressions, American English expressions, and I have no doubt that after this video you\u2019ll be able to express yourself with more sophistication.

Link here and in the video description.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Probably the most common and obvious word you can use instead of \u2018mad\u2019 is \u2018angry\u2019. Yesterday, my two sons kept acting up, misbehaving, and I got really angry.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2018Angry\u2019 is fun because you can use it in ways that don\u2019t describe a person. You could describe the water during a storm as being angry, or a cut, bite or wound on your skin as being angry: red, inflamed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There\u2019s \u2018upset\u2019, also common and straightforward. My husband was upset that I didn&#8217;t tell him I\u2019d be home late.\u00a0 He was mad.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Upset can also mean sad. She was really upset when she didn\u2019t pass the choir audition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, here\u2019s a level up vocabulary word. Apoplectic. How do you say that? <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00e6p \u0259, \u00e6p \u0259 \u02c8<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">pl\u025bk t\u026ak. It helps to break it down syllable by syllable and think about stress. \u02cc<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00e6p \u0259, \u02cc\u00e6p \u0259, \u02c8<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">pl\u025bk t\u026ak<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">, \u02c8<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">pl\u025bk t\u026ak<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u00a0 \u02cc\u00e6p<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">\u0259\u02c8pl\u025bk<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> t\u026ak. Really, really mad. Extremely angry.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This comes from the noun \u02c8<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00e6p<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">\u0259\u02ccpl\u025bk<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> si, which means a stroke, a blockage of a blood vessel leading to the brain, which can result in paralysis, speech difficulties, and even death. \u02cc<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00e6p<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">\u0259\u02c8pl\u025bk<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> t\u026ak. The teacher was \u02cc<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00e6p<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">\u0259\u02c8pl\u025bk<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> t\u026ak when she found out there had been cheating on the test.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I\u2019d like to offer a quick thanks to all my supporters here on YouTube who joined my Youtube membership.

Have you heard this phrase before? Lose control in anger.\u00a0 Some people get mad and you just see that they\u2019re really mad, you can tell but they\u2019re not fully expressing it. And then sometimes, boom! People express it and they lose their temper. They yell, they throw stuff.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now we\u2019re going to do a bunch of idioms that begin with B. First, bent out of shape. It\u2019s going to be pretty common here to drop the T in &#8216;bent\u2019 because it comes after an N, before a vowel.\u00a0 The T in \u2018out\u2019 is a Flap T, and the V sound in \u2018of\u2019 is\u00a0probably\u00a0dropped. So BENTtt Outtt Of Shape, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll hear that \u2018ben-ou-dah-shape\u2019 Bent out of shape means, literally, bent in a shape other than the one that\u2019s normal or desired. I couldn\u2019t fit the pieces together because one got bent out of shape. But here, as an idiom, it means angry, mad.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is what we do when we get mad and yell at someone.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For example, I got in a fender bender. That means a really minor car accident, and the woman totally bit my head off. She was so bent out of shape.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, with \u2018blow\u2019, we have several nouns we can use to make phrases that mean really mad.\u00a0 Blow a fuse. A fuse is something that melts and breaks an electrical circuit if the current goes above a safe level. For example, if you\u2019re running your microwave, your blender and your hairdryer all on the same outlet, first, you&#8217;re an amazing multi-tasker, and second of, you\u2019re probably going to blow a fuse, and have to reset your breaker.\u00a0 A person blows their fuse when they lose their temper.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We also have \u2018blow a gasket\u2019. This is just like blow a fuse. A gasket helps seal a joint to make it watertight. My son blew a gasket when he found out our trip to Disney was canceled due to Covid.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You could also say, he blew his top off. Got so mad, lost his temper.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another great word is \u2018boiling\u2019. We all know what a pot of water looks like, and you can imagine that\u2019s how you feel inside when you\u2019re mad. When my kid pushed another kid at the playground, I was boiling. By the way, I feel like I\u2019m making my kids sound terrible here, they\u2019re not, but this just happens to be a video on ways to say I\u2019m mad. Most of the time, they make me very, very happy. A related one here is \u2018makes my blood boil\u2019. This is something that makes you really mad. Pretty much everything in politics makes my blood boil.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This next one has a couple of different meanings. It can mean mad, angry: my boss was beside himself when John didn\u2019t show up for work today. But it can also mean agitated, really worried; She was beside herself when she couldn\u2019t get a hold of her son. But it can also mean really happy.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When he found out he got the scholarship, he was just beside himself.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Cross. Now this one is British. We don\u2019t really use this in American English. I was really cross with her for not waiting for me after school.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This one is more mild and not all that common, but you&#8217;ll also see the word \u2018displeased\u2019. My mom was displeased with my grades last semester.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, if someone is more than displeased, if they\u2019re really really mad, they\u2019re enraged. Full of rage. He was enraged when he found out he was passed over for the promotion. That means he didn\u2019t get it!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Also, outraged. So angry. The faculty were outraged at the changes to their health insurance.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another idiom, fit to be tied. We\u2019re not actually going to tie anyone up here, but you can imagine someone is so angry that you\u2019re worried they might do something crazy or hurt someone. And you might want to tie that person up. The school administration was fit to be tied over the senior prank.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Two other ways to describe being so mad you lose your temper is flying off the handle and flipping your lid. The teacher flipped her lid when she found out no one did their homework. She chewed us out. To chew someone out. This describes what you might do when you are mad. It means to reprimand someone. You lazy kids need to start doing your homework if you care about your future!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Wow, she said that? Yeah, she totally flew off the handle.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Foaming at the mouth means literally, foamy saliva coming out of your mouth, but it also means, really, really mad and has nothing to do with saliva. He was foaming at the mouth when he found out about her affair. He was fuming. I love this one too. Fuming. So mad.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We already went over enraged, full of rage. We also have furious, full of fury, which is another way to say rage and a related word, \u2018infuriating\u2019. It is infuriating when you don\u2019t follow the rules. It just makes me furious.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We had several phrases with \u2018blow\u2019, now we have several with \u2018go\u2019 \u2013 again these mean to lose your temper. To be so mad.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Go ballistic. Ballistics is the study of projectiles like bullets or bombs. He went ballistic when he thought they were overcharging him.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Go off the deep end. He went off the deep end when they accused him of cheating. This can also mean an event in mental health when you lose control, you\u2019re acting really strange, not yourself.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ok now this one involves a cuss word. Go apeshit. She went apeshit when she found out I quit my job.\u00a0 This one can also mean really, really excited, so happy. He went apeshit when he found out they were having a boy.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Go off on someone. This is when you yell at someone because you\u2019re really mad at them. Oh I\u2019m so mad at her. I\u2019m going to go off on her if I ever see her again.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Go through the roof. A similar mental image to blow your top off. They\u2019re going to go through the roof when they find out you skipped school.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There\u2019s also hit the roof. Same idea. They hit the roof when they found out the rent was going up by more than $300.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You might also hear \u2018hot under the collar\u2019. Some shirts have a collar. If you&#8217;re hot under your collar, ooh, you might blow your top!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our next three, great vocabulary words: incensed, irate, irked. Incensed and irate are both really mad. Irked is only sort or mad, more like annoyed. I\u2019m a little irked that she didn\u2019t call me back. That\u2019s different from: \u201cI\u2019m incensed. She continues to disrespect me.\u201d She was irate that her Apple watch was stolen at the gym.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This next one, also a great vocabulary word, livid. The word has two meanings; one is bluish in color. But the second is furiously angry. I like to think of someone so mad that their face turns blue. They said I have to redo this whole project; I am livid that they didn\u2019t let me know\u00a0sooner.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Three phrases with lose: lose it, lose your cool, and, less common, lose your rag.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When he stood up my friend on their third date, I lost my cool, I lost it. To stand someone up is to not show up. Let\u2019s say you and I are supposed to meet for coffee tomorrow. I go, I get coffee, I wait at the coffee shop for 30 minutes, you never show up. You stood me up.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Lose your rag. We hired movers, and they broke my grandmother\u2019s serving bowl. I lost my rag.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another phrase you can use for someone who is really mad is to say they are \u2018on the warpath\u2019. Try to avoid Kristin today. She just got fired and she\u2019s on a warpath.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, this is one I use a lot:\u00a0 I\u2019m pissed. That really pisses me off. Now pissed, in British English, can mean drunk. In American English, it means mad.\u00a0 I get really pissed when someone gives me advice I didn\u2019t ask for. It pisses me off when people try to tell me what to do.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An idiom: seeing red. Can\u2019t you just picture it? You\u2019re so mad, you\u2019re seeing red. \u201cWas she mad?\u201d \u201cOh, totally. She was seeing red.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Seething, an excellent vocabulary word. You know how we talked about someone losing their temper, expressing their anger? This is the opposite. You\u2019re so mad, but you don\u2019t express it, but everyone can tell. You\u2019re just seething.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This next one. Less intense, but you\u2019re still mad. You\u2019re sore. She was kind of sore at us because we went out for drinks after work and didn\u2019t invite her.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Also, another definition, if you do a really hard workout, afterwards, your muscles might be sore.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Up in arms. This can mean protesting, but it can also just mean upset about something; upset and letting people know. The students were up in arms about the new testing rules.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I absolutely love teaching you English here on YouTube and Facebook.
