table flip
Dramatic furniture overthrow
Table flip is the act of angrily overturning a table, usually in frustration or rage.
The term gained currency online through the emoticon (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻, which depicts someone flipping a table.
It represents dramatic expressions of frustration, often humorously exaggerated: When I saw the meeting was extended another hour, I wanted to table flip.
The phrase captures that moment when composure breaks and you want to upend everything.
