Angry fleas

My husband informed me, today, that I have “angry fleas”.
I don’t know from what origin this expression came from but I have no doubt that he made it up just to annoy me.
After placing me with this label approximately fifteen times, (and an hour later) he stated that it meant that I have a bad temper.

Me: “Like an animal with “angry fleas?”   That's fn stupid.  oh! so you would be the annoying "flea" right? That constantly pesters me day and night, 24 hours a day, , , etc. . .!”

Actually I said a hell of a lot more than that but I will spare you excerpts from one of my many, temporary moments of insanity. (All brought on by my husband, By-the-way.)

Of course, my reaction only amuses him more and supposedly confirms his absurd accusation.

I can't help to think that he is being a little condescending in an "Oh your funny when you're mad" sort of way.  Not to mention, he tends to be a little "colonic" himself.  ('colonic' means tempermental but also has to do with assholes!  how funny!)
