Signification
Becoming very angry suddenly.
Contexte culturel
In Hungarian culture, showing anger is often seen as a sign of 'őszinteség' (sincerity). People who never lose their cool might be viewed with slight suspicion as being 'hideg' (cold). The river metaphor is common in the region, but the specific 'sodor' (drift) terminology is uniquely tied to the Hungarian language's development alongside the Danube. While losing one's cool is understood, it is still expected that one apologizes afterward using this specific phrase to acknowledge the lapse in control. On Hungarian forums, you will often see 'Ne gyere ki a sodradból' as a way to tell 'trolls' or angry commenters to calm down.
Use it to apologize
If you were rude to someone, saying 'Bocs, kijöttem a sodromból' is a very natural and effective way to take responsibility.
