Question

Jump down Your Throat to talk or scream at someone in a sudden, angry way

Accepted Answer

All I said was, 'Could you not give us homework tonight, Mr. Brill,' and he jumped down my throat. This saying has been popular since the early 1800s. If someone jumps at you, they suddenly and quickly spring off the ground. Your larynx and vocal chords, which produce speech, are located in your throat. So if you say something that angers someone, then he or she would be "jumping down your throat" by suddenly scolding you.
