full-on meltdown
Hello,

How do I use the expression in the above noted in the title in a daily life? I fetched it from the below,

"I was never allowed to have a full-on meltdown like that."

I assume that it mean to show extreme anger (please rectify it if it is not correct)

It would be appreciative if you can cite an example using the phrase.

Thank you.

Dan

Answer

If "he has a meltdown" that means he had an extremely emotional moment in public.

Saying "he had a full-on meltdown" means that he TOTALLY had an extremely emotional moment in public. 100% emotional. He didn't hide it even a little bit. He cried and wept like a baby in the middle of the shopping mall and screamed when somebody tried to pick him up.

It is (usually) a response (crying and panicking) because something happened that the person didn't like. The phrase "meltdown" also implies that it was very bad, but still the person over-reacted

I wonder how many people had a full-on meltdown after losing their jobs and their homes during the most recent housing crisis.

Answer

You can have a full-on meltdown. "He had a full-on meltdown". Anger is one emotion, it means to "lose it" over something.
