Spitting nails in Czech

[Leslie Farmer]

A Czech Californian friend who has published several books in Czechia is
looking to me for a Czech equivalent of "She was mad enough to spit nails." Your
correspondent was referring to her redheaded mother, who probably could have
produced napalm on the spot when she go mad enough.    Is there one?   Zuriva/
zurit jako pominuta all seem to lack the excessive, explosive quality of the US
slang. Any clues?
