    頭に来る

    atama ni kuru = to be angry, get mad, pissed off

    もう頭に来た

    mou atama ni kita = I’m really pissed off

    ATAMA NI KURU literally means “it’s come to the head” so perhaps that sounds a little like “I’ve had it up to here” in English. Of course this is a useful phrase to express how angry you are. Another similar phrase is きれた /KIRETA which literally means something has been cut. Both KIRETA and ATAMA NI KURU imply that you have slightly lost control because you are so angry.
