foot stamping
Pounding floor repeatedly
Foot stamping is the act of forcefully bringing one's foot down repeatedly, typically expressing frustration, impatience, or childish anger.
The gesture suggests a tantrum: The toddler's foot stamping did nothing to change her parents' minds.
It can also describe rhythmic stomping for emphasis or to keep time with music.
