Boiling point
Meaning: the point at which someone loses his or her temper
Example: You’ve just about pushed me to the boiling point. In a minute I’m going to lose my temper. Don’t push the boss too hard about taking time off work. She hasn’t had much patience this week and it wouldn’t take much to reach her boiling point.
