1. A cat conniption -- that's the worst.

3. Hissy fit = Cat-niption
Conniptions are for humans. Hissy fits are for cats. So a hissy fit is really a catniption.

7. Hissy fits are for whiners
I prefer having a full-blown conniption. (YOU HEARD ME!)

9. A hissy fit is relatively mild in comparison to the conniption...
or so I've been told.

17. Hissy fit is MUCH worse...
because they are mostly had by southern ladies. And you don't ever want to get in the middle of a southern lady hissy fit.

21. They're both a boring waste of time.
Some people seem to live for them.

22. I think a "fucking cow" is worse than a hissy or conniption.
At least, that is what people have told me.
