See if you can spot it. 😀

In the UK we have a phrase "to spit the dummy".
A dummy is a baby's pacifier.
The phrase is used when an adult acts in a very childish manner usually involving a massive over reaction way out of proportion with the situation.
The resulting outburst is like a child whining or crying and makes about as much sense.
Quite appropriate as a description of Green's behaviour.

@raymierussell How interesting — in Danish it is almost the same phrase. We say "She has completely dropped the pacifier!"
In Danish: "Hun har helt tabt sutten!"
@randahl
I notice you use "pacifier" in your English translation which is the American English version.
In British English Dummy is short for "Dummy Tit" which is literally a pretend breast.
I think the Americans use pacifier as they see it as less rude.

@raymierussell interesting observation. You are probably right.
