Idiom Synonyms

Today I was thinking of all the idioms I could that were synonymous with "blow a gasket."

Blow a fuse
Flip out
Go postal
Have a meltdown
Have a cow
Flip your lid

And how about the last straw? This one was tougher. Couldn't really think of any that worked great.
Straw that broke the camel's back
Match in the powder keg
Things reached critical mass

You might assume, correctly, that I was feeling a little cranky today. (Nothing serious, just junk and clutter.)

  2. 'Lose it' is the only other one I'd add
