"Putting down your foot", was a phrase used commonly by a male asserting his dominance and final decision on a matter. It can literally be accompanied by stomping the ground to add to the point.
We also say in English, "to fly off the handle"
Currently people use a slang term: "rage quit". I find it a dull phrase, but then a lot of slang is these days.
To be crude, people also say, "He lost his shit." as in, "Jack was having a bad day and when he saw the neighbor allowing the dog to urinate on his mailbox, he just lost his shit at her!"
It needs to be commented on that men are no longer the assumed head of household in my country. Point of fact, most of them are missing entirely (they do not raise their own children) and if they are present frequently leave discipline up to the mothers (often relishing challenging her own authority in such matters and confusing the children).
Yes that video game has a cult following and a cult emoticon attached to it:
'Rage quit' means you quit your online video game in anger, right? sounds like an up-to-date slang.
>men are no longer the assumed head of household in my country. Same here. Probably fathers nowadays are becoming more close to children +good friends.
