feifei: 那么今天的短语就是...

john: to lose your rag.

feifei: 丢了一块儿布. that sounds easy. so this phrase is all about just losing a bit of cloth, a rag?

john: no. in this context, to lose your rag means to lose your temper, to become infuriated, to become angry!

feifei: ah, so that’s rather different. to lose your rag 这个短语不只是字面意思那么简单，其实是说发脾气，生气，losing your rag!

b: i’m not losing my rag, i’m just well angry.

feifei: i don’t believe you!
