English term or phrase: blow a fuse
Cleveland just handed off Flight Two to Chicago Center. The transmissions from the aircraft aren't exactly regulation. THE CAPTAIN'S BLOWING A FUSE.

Avion avariat încearcă să aterizeze forţat. Mai mult context nu am de unde să dau.
Mulţumesc !

Romanian translation:a se isteriza
Explanation:
a se enerva, a fi scos din sarite etc.

blow a fuse = flip one's lid: 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"

Mai ai si celebrul exemplu al piesei lui Björk:

it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot
you blow a fuse (zing! boom!)
the devil cuts loose (zing! boom!)
so what's the use (wow! bam!)
of falling in love

:)

N-ai pentru ce... Vezi si tu ce ti se potriveste in context. Noroc cu Björk, altfel probabil ca nici mie nu-mi dadea prin cap. E o expresie foarte rar folosita.

Mai departe de unde te-ai ascuns cred ca e imposibil.

Asker: În contextul meu merge mai curând "a început să se piardă cu firea". Mulţumesc mult, Cristina.
