to lose it

* * *

(v.) = lose + control (of), lose + Posesivo + cool, lose + Posesivo + head, fly off + the handle, freak out, flip out

Ex. The library director does not want to take the chance that by allowing the trustees to get active he might lose partial control of the library operation to an 'outsider'.

Ex. Not losing one's cool is essential, since it may appear as a weakness that can be exploited.

Ex. In a competitie game defeat usually goes to the player who 'loses his head'.

Ex. In other words, it is not true that homicides are commonly committed by ordinary citizens who just fly off the handle.

Ex. A boy on trial in the shooting death of his principal told investigators that he 'just freaked out' and pulled the trigger three times.

Ex. And this is coming from someone who had to be restrained in school after flipping out and kicking a bubbler.
