Shaking the Coconut Tree 

To relieve rage/tension, an individual may find a coconut tree and shake it to release the fruit. In cases where the climate does not allow for natural coconuts, the individual may choose to find the nearest fruit-bearing tree and shake that instead.

Loc became so mad after hearing the bad news that he broke into my yard and shook all the peaches off of my peach tree, the look of rage dissipated from his face as he finished "shaking the coconut tree"
