    I’ve chosen to bring back the phrase ‘Kirk out’ in it’s later form, ‘Kirked out’ which means to lose one’s temper, go crazy, or fly into a rage.

    Originating as a reference to Captain Kirk from Star Trek, it describes a sudden, intense outburst of anger after trying to remain calm. Synonyms include freaking out, flipping out, or losing it.

    It was cool in the 90’s, and find it even more apt today.
