TODAY'S IDIOM: LOSE YOUR HEAD

"LOSE YOUR HEAD"

If you lose your head, you become very angry about something.

Example: When some people at the hospital said they wouldn't help my injured friend because he didn't have his ID card, I lost my head and shouted, "What's wrong with you people? He's dying!" 

Perder la cabeza.

Example sentences:

• If you're in a government office and an official is making life difficult for you, try not to lose your head. / Si estás en una oficina de gobierno y un funcionario te está haciendo la vida difícil, trata de no perder la cabeza. 

• We were all surprised when Tracey suddenly lost her head and started shouting and thumping the table / Todos nos sorprendimos cuando Tracey perdió repentinamentela cabeza y comenzó a gritar y a golpear la mesa.
