Went Linear

To respond by losing one's sense of perspective and becoming agitated in the extreme.

Possibly borrowed from meteorology. A cellular storm "goes linear" when it turns into more of a squall line (or merges with an existing storm) -- i.e., that it's going to turn into a big black line of death. (from stormtrack.org).

I have a sense that there should also be a nuclear physics metaphor, but I don't know it.

My boss went linear when I showed him my expense report.

margaret wente

A racist whore who writes for the Globe and Mail. Hates Newfoundlanders, and probably other races/groupes of people. She should die a horrible, painful death.

"I'm gonna fuck her and all of her fish-eatin lesbian friends in front of their mothers. Then I'll kill her."

Went Shakespeare

The use of elevated language or phrases, especially when employing literature, to conceal the extent of an insult.

Professor Sutherlin went Shakespeare on us today in class when he said, "More of your conversation would infect my brain.” He insults certain students and they don't even know it!
