Weird French idiom of the day

"Devenir chêvre"
Literal translation: Become a goat
Meaning: To become very angry.

I've never seen an angry goat, but in Russia to call someone a goat (Kozel) is an insult too. It means something along the lines of "rude asshole."
We also have a proverb that all men are goats! (It's true.)
