A character is so angry, pissed off, or shocked that he or she is literally unable to form a coherent sentence. Other strong emotions are sufficient to render a person unable to speak proper English (or whatever language is being spoken at the time), but shock, anger, and pure rage are the most common. It usually takes a little while for him or her to recover, at which point he or she explodes into rage normally.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
The technical name for this rhetorical device is "aposiopesis".
Usually includes [[Cluster F-Bomb]] (or sometimes just a [[Curse Cut Short]]). Do not confuse with [[Gratuitous English|Engrish]]. Also compare [[Sarcasm Failure]], [[Gagging on Your Words]] and [[Foreign Language Tirade]]. Not to be confused with Anglish, a [[Con Lang]] of English with the non-Germanic words removed.
[[Truth in Television]], you little... Ooh, you—I mean, ''what'' did... I... YOU AAARGH!
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'', Harry drinks Comed-Tea, which guarantees a [[Spit Take]] for whoever drinks it. Testing it out, Harry drinks it, and immediately catches sight of an issue of the Quibbler, which proudly declares "BOY-WHO-LIVED GETS DRACO MALFOY PREGNANT!" Cue [[Spit Take]]. Harry and Malfoy are reduced to "Buh-buh-buh-buh..."
{{quote|''Too many competing objections, that was the problem. Every time Harry tried to say "But we're only eleven!" the objection "But men can't get pregnant!" demanded first priority and was then run over by "[[Ho Yay|But there's nothing between us, really!]]"'' }}
* In the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic ''[[Nobody Dies]]'', it's possible to tell that Ikari Yui is truly furious when she starts making up words. (Her daughter Kei believes that these are the vilest epithets in the Japanese language. Flurgen!)
* In ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'', Ronan lapses into this after he learns that Sakura {{spoiler|might be pregnant with Naruto's child}}
{{quote|''"WTFF BITHCKDNR,E D?EKRFMMFJF GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WTF IS DIS SHIT! UR RIPPIN ME APART SAKURA!"''}}
* In ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'', Dalek Sec's fourth attempt at playing ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' to distract himself results in this.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix]] in ''[[Turnabout Storm]]'', right after falling square into one of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Trixie's]] prosecutor tricks.

Line 142:
* [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'s uncle, Vernon Dursley. All the time.
** The most memorable quotations are "He made a sound like a mouse being trodden on" and "Mimble wimble".
**** Harry himself does it in ''[[
{{quote|"Do you – do you think I want to – do you think I give a – I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SAY!"}}
* Glen Cook plays with this in his ''[[Garrett P.I.]]'' novels, having characters who are furious and/or recovering from a blow to the head speak in Angrish ... or seem to, as in one case it's revealed that the gibberish-speaker is actually cursing fluently in Elvish.
* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Cell]]'' involves a Hate Plague "Pulse" afflicting people using their cell phones, sending them into berserk rages while gibbering Angrish.
** ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series gives us, {{spoiler|The deranged shrieking of the Crimson King}}.
* [[Belisarius Series|Belisarius]] is reduced to this in ''Destiny's Shield'', when Antonina refuses to take along guards on her trip to Egypt.
* In ''[[Malevil]]'', Momo is reduced to this when their wheat harvest comes under attack. What's significant is that Momo is [[Man Child|barely]] [[Speech Impediment|capable]] of speech in the first place.
* In ''[[The Eye of Argon]]'', the evil prince Agaphim is reduced to speaking "muffled sibilant gibberish" when Grignr insults him. The "faintly perceptible ceremonial jibberish
* Zilpha Keatley Snyder has David Stanley do this in ''[[The Headless Cupid]]''. He is slightly shy and reticent because he's been teased for stuttering when he's angry. His half-sister finally infuriates him to the point that he doesn't care.
Line 333:
** Several commenters thought that he was [[Foreign Language Tirade|screaming in German]].
* The ''[[Inheritance Cycle|eragon-sporkings]]'' lapsed into this after a particularly bad piece of [[Moral Dissonance]] from [[Designated Hero|Eragon]]—specifically, after he left two people to be eaten by the Raz'ac so that he'd know whether they were in the area, then after they were eaten assuaged his guilt by saying that they couldn't defend everyone. Then regained speech long enough for a rant including "MY HATRED FOR YOU SEETHES LIKE THE ROTTEN UNDERBELLY OF A BLOATED ZOMBIE CORPSE" before lapsing back into Angrish.
