How it's used
This idiom vividly describes someone who is beyond angry, implying a level of intensity that is explosive or uncontrollable. The imagery of fire and excrement suggests a state of extreme agitation that is both visceral and unpleasant to witness. It is reserved for situations where someone has completely lost their temper, rather than just being mildly annoyed.
Examples
He was absolutely furious when he saw how unreasonable the customer was.
Why are you so furious? Calm down first.

Common phrases
really furious
Common mistake
Do not use this in formal or professional settings, as the inclusion of the word for excrement makes it quite vulgar and aggressive. It is strictly for casual, heated arguments among friends or peers.
