An early 20th-century slang term for a fit of rage, a tantrum, or an episode of erratic behavior — the kind of over-the-top emotional outburst that makes onlookers uncomfortable. The term is dated and largely obsolete but captures a particular flavor of early American slang that used rhyming or near-rhyming reduplication for comic effect. Typically used with 'throw' or 'have': 'to throw an ing-bing' means to have a meltdown or dramatic tantrum.
