        The term to [go ballistic] probably originates from [guided missiles]. A [guided missle] that loses its lock will go ballistic, that is to say it becomes an unguided missile, likely to cause damage wherever it lands. Hence the use of ballistic to describe someone who has lost control and flown in a rage.

          Of or relating to the trajectory of projectiles, their motion and/or effects. Used in circuses by clowns to properly gauge and define accurate [custard pie] throwing. Although rarely heard, [ballistics] are all around us. When we throw a [broken bottle] into the face of a policeman, we unconsciously use our acquired knowledge of ballistics to work out exactly how hard and high the throw must be to really mess up the bitch.

          To be incredibly angry. See also furious and apeshit.
