Patient: I broke my mother's favourite antique jade bracelet last night.
Doctor: Did she throw a fit at you?
Patient: Fit…? Right, the bracelet fits her very well.
Doctor: No, I was asking if your mother was very angry with you because you had broken her bracelet. To throw a fit is an idiom meaning to display great anger at somebody.
