📚see red

✍🏾Meaning

If you see red, you become extremely angry.

❗️For example

🔸We were playing baseball when one of the batters saw red after a pitcher threw the ball straight at his head. He ran up to the guy and punched him.

🔸There's no point getting into a fight, so if you see red just count to ten and wait for the anger to die down.

▫️Origin

Possibly related to the fact that in bull-fighting a matador waves a red cape at a bull in order to make it angry.
