Bedeutung
To become extremely angry.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Czechs often use dark humor to describe anger. Saying someone 'vyletěl z kůže' is a way to make a tense situation sound a bit more like a story or a caricature. The 'skin' metaphor is common in the region (Germany, Austria, Czechia), suggesting a shared linguistic history regarding how emotions are contained. In Czech gaming communities, this phrase is often replaced by the English loanword 'rage-quit', but 'vyletět z kůže' remains the standard for verbal outbursts.
Use with 'úplně'
Adding 'úplně' (completely) before 'vyletěl' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Not for fear
Remember, this is NOT for being scared. If a ghost jumps out, don't use this phrase!
