Notes on Meaning

• Emotional Intensity: "Gắt mù" describes a specific type of anger: one that is sudden, loud, and explosive. It is more intense and noisy than simply being annoyed ("bực mình") or speaking sharply ("gắt").
• Figurative Use: The word "mù" here is used for emphasis and onomatopoeic effect, suggesting a burst or explosion of sound, rather than relating to its literal meaning of "blind."
