Expressing Anger

Not to be taken literally. Nobody is actually hitting any ceiling—it’s a metaphor for anger.

Figurative Speech

Used in casual conversation, not in formal writing or professional contexts.

Used when describing situations where a limit or threshold is reached or exceeded.

Often associated with prices, costs, or demand in economic and market contexts.

Represents a significant increase or peak metaphorically, not a physical action.
