Schafernakar

This phrase has come about after the latest TV blooper from BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernakar. He was seen giving the one finger salute to the newsreader just before his weather bulletin and to try and cover it up he did this hilarious hand gesture after the 'one finger salute' to hide the fact he'd sworn on air. You would use the word to describe a person having a fit or spak-attack at something they're not happy with.
I refused to pay the guy and he had a total schafernakar at me!
