strop

Chiefly British slang, refers to a tantrum. Most likely refers to the leather items called 'strops' that would be covered in a buffing compound and used to polish sharp tools such as razors and chisels using a vigorous rubbing motion.

Adjective form is "stroppy", which can also be a noun form itself.
