lathering
Working up suds
Lathering is producing or applying lather—the foam created when soap meets water and agitation.
You lather up in the shower, lather shaving cream on your face, or work shampoo into a lather.
Figuratively, to get into a lather is to become agitated or worked up: Don't get yourself into a lather over nothing.
