go bazootie
v. phr.— «I think there’s a major difference between criticizing a public figure for actions taken in public, like going bazootie on the mound during a playoff game…, and criticizing a public figure on one person’s unsupported account of a long ago private moment.» —“Rog’s right, but not bright Reaction overshadows a very legitimate gripe” by Michael Gee Boston Herald July 20, 1992.
