A display of bad temper can be described as a TANTRUM (7 letters) and a SCENE (5 letters). A TANTRUM is an outburst of anger, often accompanied by crying and screaming. It is usually seen in young children who are unable to express their emotions in a more mature way. A SCENE is a dramatic event or situation, often involving a lot of shouting and arguing. Both tantrums and scenes are displays of bad temper that can be caused by frustration, disappointment, or other negative emotions.
