American/English expression?
Alright my American friends. I have another expression for you guys, or maybe two at once even.
What's the meaning of:
The poor guy caught the fits (and threw away all my grits.)
I'm a little troubled by the grits. I mean, why would anyone be carrying around tiny bits of rock? What can it be, some kind of food?
Thanks for any help.
That was fast. Good job.

Grits is a food stuff (corn meal) generally eaten in the Southern States. The saying may likely come from the US South.
To catch or have a fit means to go into a tantrum.... and by having a fit the grits went flying.

Yes, grits is food. It's like oatmeal, but instead of oats, I think they use corn. But it is eaten the same way. I'm Canadian. We eat oatmeal. But when I was in a Florida restaurant, they served grits. It was very much like oatmeal, served in cereal bowls and they had brown sugar beside it to sprinkle on top. I always sprinkle brown sugar on my oatmeal.
