seeing red

In bullfighting, the matador beckons the bull with a red cape, which agitates the bull, and it charges for the cape.

Seeing red refers to when someone becomes so angered that it controls them, enraging the person.

As soon as he hit her, I was seeing red, and socked him in the nose.

Yeah, Twilight is mostly okay, but there are just a couple things about it that really get me seeing red.

Seeing red

Overdosing on Viagra turns your vision red. Not only are you hard, you are seeing red, permanently.

I took too much of the little blue pill and now I am seeing red all of the time.

seeing red

To be consumed by anger, rage, and fury, where red is the only color you can see until the person or thing is obliterated.

Also causes you to be unaware of your surroundings, and do things you wouldn't do if you weren't seeing red. Such as when Arcann killed his brother.

Arcann was seeing red when he tried to kill his father

post-swat "seeing red"

Refers to da infuriated frustration dat you feel when you observe a messy crimson smear on your hands after successfully dispatching a mosquito, realizing dat said "singing terror" has already "gotten you", and thus you are still destined to suffer an itchy lump in da near future, despite your having eliminated da nasty winged parasite itself.

Knowing that a "loaded" eliminated mosquito will not be producing any additional larvae can somewhat reduce your post-swat "seeing red"... not that one less mosquito will make much difference overall, of course, but at least this particular one won't be laying any eggs inside your house or tent (and thus possibly create an INDOOR infestation of said nasty buggers later on) where it had sneaked into sometime prior to your smacking it.
