How to use "Conniption" in context?
I was reading the dictionary and I saw the word "conniption." It said that it was a "fit of sudden intense excitement, rage, or violence." I was really surprised to see that definition because I had never really understood what conniption meant before.
I have always thought of conniption as a really fun and exciting feeling. Whenever something really exciting happens and I get really angry or excited, that's usually when I start to have conniption symptoms.
One time I was playing with my friends and we were pretending to be mad scientists.
