Is your dander up or riz? Is your anger excited? Are you
in a rage? This is generally considered to be an Americanism, but it is of
uncertain origin, and as a synonym for anger has been a common dialect word in
several English counties. In the present sense it is more likely that it is one of
the words (like waffle, and hook for a point of land) imported into America by the
early Dutch colonists, from donder, thunder: the Dutch op donderen is to burst
into a sudden rage. Other suggestions are that it is from dandruff, this is being
humorously substituted for the hair itself; that is a figurative use of dander,
the old name in the West Indies of America for a ferment used in the preparation
of molasses; and that is a euphemism for damned anger.
