"He went off in a snit," said my friend, and I knew what he meant. A snit is a fit of temper, an unreasonable anger that makes you look and behave like a child. Children have tantrums, adults have snits--but they're basically the same.
And where did the word come from? Another case of origin unknown. Someone must have invented it, but no one knows. And you know what? I bet whoever invented the word is...
...in a snit about that!
