Hi, everybody.
My name is Shawna, and this is the American English Podcast.
My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States.
Through common expressions, pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories,
I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.
Let's do it.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome back.
to episode 196.
I hope you're having a nice day wherever you are.
I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, and it's sunny here, 82 degrees Fahrenheit,
which to me is the perfect weather to go for a walk outside,
which I'll do certainly after recording today's episode.
Today, we're going to be talking about the common English expression to have a hissy fit.
It's kind of funny, and once you learn it,
I guarantee you'll start hearing it in English conversations,
on TV shows, especially when there's a lot of dialogue and annoyed people,
and yeah, wherever you listen to American English.
Just like in all of my expression episodes, we'll start with a joke,
then we'll move on to the history of the phrase, also known as the etymology.
