The saying "flip your wig" originated in the 19th century and is believed to refer to the practice of wearing wigs, particularly by men in formal society. When someone became extremely agitated or excited, it was as if their wig might metaphorically "flip" off their head. Over time, the phrase evolved to mean losing one's temper or composure. It reflects a playful take on the serious consequences of emotional outbursts.
