steamed up

Hot under collar

Steamed up describes windows or glasses clouded with condensation: The bathroom mirror was all steamed up.

Figuratively, it means angry or agitated: Don't get so steamed up about it.

The two senses share the idea of heat—literal moisture from warmth, or the metaphorical heat of rising emotion.
