storming off
Leaving in fury
Storming off is leaving abruptly and angrily, making your displeasure obvious through body language—slamming doors, heavy footsteps, refusing to look back.
The phrase emphasizes the dramatic, theatrical quality of the departure: She stormed off after the argument.
Unlike simply leaving, storming off signals wounded feelings or outrage meant to be noticed.
