to throw the wobbly of all wobblies παθαίνω παροξυσμό/την μητέρα των κρίσεων

Explanation:
To throw a wobbly σημαίνει θυμώνω και φωνάζω ξαφνικά, παθαίνω κρίση. Εδώ αναφέρεται στους πολύ γνωστούς παροξυσμούς που παθαίνουν τα παιδιά όταν αρχίζουν να μαθαίνουν ότι δεν μπορούν να έχουν Ο,ΤΙ θέλουν, οπότε θα το έλεγα "παθαίνω παροξυσμό/την μητέρα των κρίσεων" ή κάτι τέτοιο ανάλογο. Δεν έχει εξειδικευμένη ή άλλη ιατρική σημασία.
