"Get (one's) knickers in a twist" = xoắn cái quần lót -> có nghĩa là nổi cơn tam bành, giận điên lên (vì chuyện không đâu). "Knickers" là quần lót chẽn gối (của phụ nữ). Cụm từ này xuất hiện ở Anh, trong Anh-Mỹ có cụm tương tự là "get/have your panties in a knot".
Ví dụ
They also have these cheeky (táo bạo) cherry cotton briefs that come in a pack of five for just €5, so no need to get your knickers in a twist.

The Bushtucker trials (thử nghiệm) are the main event, what the crowds are screaming for, what we are all tuning in to see! It’s like going on Great British Bake Off and getting your knickers in a twist if they ask you to make a cake! It’s crazy! That’s what you are there to do!
