Today we consider a well-known phrase, which many probably do not perceive as a stable phrase. The meaning of phraseology “lose your temper” is in the focus of our attention.
Code of conduct
Unfortunately, an intelligible version of the origin of phraseology was not found. But suppose that in some way it is connected with the norms of social behavior, and when a person goes beyond the bounds of decency, he, accordingly, goes crazy. The most interesting thing is that they say so when a person is angry, angry, very angry, that is, shows his nature from an unsuccessful and unsightly side. But if, for example, it dawns on some villain to do something good (as happens sometimes in films), then no one says that he did the unimaginable. For some reason, getting out of oneself is associated only with the bad.
By the way, the phrase “true face” suffers the same injustice. So after all, they also talk about a man who does something disgusting, and they shout to him: “Yeah, so you showed your true face!”
That is, somewhere inside, people are sure that every person is bad. It is strange why good deeds cannot characterize a person at least somehow. Apparently, they relate to random phenomena, but evil is multifaceted, insidious and constant.
Synonyms
Once again, we say that the meaning of phraseology “lose your temper” comes down to fixing the fact that a person lost control of his negative emotions and began to shout, curse and curse everyone around with curses. Joy and positive emotions do not suggest a way out of oneself; there are other language definitions for them, but this is not about them. Consider what synonyms exist for the object of study:
- get angry;
- lose control;
- get furious;
- become furious;
- lose patience;
- get excited;
- explode.
As you can see, there is no shortage of replacements. It should be noted that not all expressions of this kind are associated exclusively with anger and anger. For example, there is an expression "not in itself", and here a wide range of emotions opens, ranging from joy to grief. But the object of our today's study, unfortunately, has gained a fame, therefore, the synonyms for “lose your temper” are like that.
