Jump down (one's) throat
(Originally posted April 4th, 2006)
Definition: Being extremely angry or impatient at someone, vigorous verbal attack on someone, often unexpected on the part of the victim
Example 1: John and I were just talking. However, I must have touched a sore topic, because he immediately started to jump down my throat.
Example 2: When the man came home a third time smelling of gin, his wife jumped down his throat.
