"As mad as a wet hen" is a kind of fun expression,
So it should have a kind of fun definition,
Now I am getting close to forty-five years of marriage,
So this is my definition of "as mad as a wet hen",
Here goes:
"As mad as a wet hen" is when-
A wife tells her husband she thinks he has been having some back trouble for a little too long,
So, without his knowledge or persmission, she calls the clinic to make a doctor appointment for him,
The clinic says they have just had a cancellation and if her husband can be there in ten minutes the doctor can see him right away,
She tells the clinic to put his name down for the appointment and that he will be there in ten minutes,
The wife then announces to the husband she has made a doctor's appointment for him, that there was a cancellation and so the husband has an appointment to see the doctor in ten minutes and he needs to go right away to get there on time,
The wife did notice a change in the mood of her husband as he was trying to lift his leg to put into the pant leg of a quick change of clothes,
The husband can hardly walk yet alone barely able to get in or out of the car with any type of speed for being in a hurry to be at the doctor's office in just ten minutes.
The husband goes to the doctor appointment that he didn't want, he didn't know about, he doesn't think is even that necessary and he is as mad as a wet hen,
Meanwhile, the wife is saying to the husband to calm down or he will check in with high blood pressure.
So being "as mad as a wet hen" is very short lived kind of being mad.
I guess the "wet hen" dries out pretty fast.
