Trigger

Trigger is either an action or an object. It may refer to two things:
(1) An object in a firearm, commonly referred to as “the trigger”, that, when pressure is applied to it, causes the firearm to discharged, by means of a mechanism.
(2) An act or event that causes a reaction of some sort.

HOWEVER.
Trigger is NOT a word that can describe a negative reaction to a piece of literature, an opinion, a fact, or an opposing statement. The correct word for that is “overreacting”, or a combination of words, such as “an overly sensitive person who doesn’t like to hear opposing options”.
Don’t like it? Too bad. The word “trigger”, alongside many other words, is not yours to be manipulated.

Triggered fat boy

When an overweight male (commonly between the ages of 5-7) has an autistic outburst mirroring that of someone with schizophrenia. Outbursts usually take place over things that normal people don't get upset about, like what car seat they can sit in. In most cases if you have ever had a triggered fat boy outburst you most likely have no friends and no one likes you.

Guy 2: Wow, how come his parents don't hit him with rocks?
