unshirted
Without upper garment
Unshirted means not wearing a shirt, describing someone whose upper body is bare or uncovered.
The word appears most often in the phrase unshirted hell, an intensifier meaning extreme chaos or fury, as in The boss raised unshirted hell when he saw the quarterly numbers.
This idiom, now somewhat dated, suggests anger so intense that someone might tear off their shirt in rage.
