Conniption fit. I love that phrase!

I first heard it while listening to a tape recording of a Bill Cosby routine. He was talking about his wife's conniption fits. For those of you youngin's, a tape is a means of electronically recording sounds.

My students do not know what a conniption fit is. Strange.
