Idioms: see stars, see red

Let's look at some seeing idioms.

If you see stars, it means you are dizzy - probably because you hit your head.

It is common to see this in cartoons and comic books. Often, when a character gets hit in the head (for example, someone hits them with a hammer, or they run into a wall), they will see stars. The artist will draw little stars around their head, to show their confusion.

If you see red, however, it means you are angry.

This idiom might come from the sport of bull-fighting. When bulls see the red cape, they become very angry and lose control - they 'see red'.

What makes you see red? For me, liars make me see red. People who aren't fair really make me see red.
