Hissy fit是一种夸张的愤怒表演，通常被认为与实际情况不成比例。它暗示戏剧性和夸张——手舞足蹈、大哭大闹、跺脚。它比普通的发脾气更夸张，带有南方人对这种场面的几分幽默。

Un hissy fit es una demostración exagerada de enfado que suele considerarse desproporcionada respecto a la situación. Implica drama y teatralidad: aspavientos, lloros, pataleos. Es más dramático que una rabieta normal y lleva un toque de humor sureño ante el espectáculo.

Hissy fitは状況に対して大げさとみなされる派手な怒りの表現。ドラマチックで芝居がかっている——手足をバタバタさせ、泣き、足を踏み鳴らすようなイメージ。普通のかんしゃくよりも派手で、その騒ぎっぷりに対する南部的なユーモアを含んでいる。

Hissy fit은 보통 상황에 비해 과한 것으로 여겨지는 화려한 분노 표출이다. 팔을 휘두르고, 울고, 발을 구르는 등 드라마틱한 행동을 수반한다. 일반적인 떼보다 더 과장되며, 그 장면을 바라보는 남부식 유머가 담겨 있다.
