That was my first answer, although I hear it more commonly said in connection with panties.

Technically, I don't think "foaming at the mouth" has anything to do with anger or annoyance. I thought it had to do with craziness (referring back to rabid dogs foaming at the mouth). But I suppose maybe people do use it in connection with anger?

to me it always meant a mixture of crazy and mad, because it comes from animals with rabies who are overly aggressive.

Never heard of conniption fit. Otherwise easy. Maybe a bit too easy? Does that mean these idioms are a reflection of me??? Hope not!

never heard expression 'fit to be tied' or the word 'conniption', despite having some friends in New England. Don't think we use either of these in UK or Ireland.

I didn't get 'Fit to be Tied'...... but somewhere in my memory I can just hear something from a song in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'.

What about "Have a short temper"? I'd say that fits anger.

Conniption is one of my favorite words, along with dudgeon. Speaking of that, you didn't have "in high dudgeon" here.

Looked up conniption fit and discovered hissy fit too! Not very useful if you don't live in south east USA.

I remember it from my youth in 1980s Nashville, though I remember hissy fit being used more. I hadn't thought of/heard it in years, but conniption came right to mind. Time for some Country Time Lemonade on the veranda. I still love Nashville, FWIW.
