意思
Losing one's temper
文化背景
In many Bengali households, pouring water on the head is a literal remedy for someone who is 'matha gorom'. It is believed to physically cool the brain. In the 'Adda' culture of Kolkata, heated political debates are common. Being told 'matha gorom korben na' is a polite way to tell someone they are becoming too aggressive. The phrase is ubiquitous in the context of Dhaka's infamous traffic. It's almost a greeting among drivers to acknowledge each other's 'hot heads'. Traditional folk songs often use 'matha gorom' to describe a lover's tiff or a husband's temper, often in a humorous way.
