Snap
意味: To suddenly lose your temper or composure, breaking from a calm state into anger or emotional outburst.
'Snapping' describes a sudden break in composure — one moment you're fine, the next you're yelling or crying. It implies that stress or frustration has been building until something small triggers an explosive reaction (the 'last straw'). The word itself mimics the sound of something breaking.
