I've learned over the years that you never tell them to calm down when angry. I just leave them alone until they calm down on their own.

Spoken like a veteran. You don't shake the ticking timebomb, you get the frick out of its Zone of Irrationality(tm).

I tried “Why don’t you go somewhere and cry?” to end an argument. It didn’t work, made things worse.

Yeah, no kidding, you need to say "Calm your tits down". That's the magic word, it's like turning a shark upside down.

I absolutely recommend you give it a try.

Easier to just go dead calm and start talking about off topic stuff until see gives you the crazy look. Next step is crucial because if you get her to laugh you are getting laid but if you don't she is going to throw something at your head.

Here are two "go to" moves to use when she gets heated after you tell her to calm down...

1. Sarcastically call her by her mother's name. Example: "whatever you say, Barbara!"

2. Ask her when she's going to start her period soon.
When she angrily says "this has nothing to do with that!" say, "yeah, I know...I was just curious because you seem really moody and irrational."

Another good option to go with is, "Stop acting crazy" or, "You're acting crazy."
I like the "You're just like your mother." Depending on the relationship with the mom it can be a fun one.

People in general get pissed if you tell them to calm down. I've seen plenty a baw puff his chest out even more when told to chill the frick out. Somewhere along the way people began to interpret "calm down" as a sort of low key "frick you" kind of like how "bless your heart" is a diss.

Tell he she does look fat in those jeans.

It may add fuel to the fire but hopefully she never asks you for clothing advice in the future. That alone is worth it.

I always get positive results with, "I can't talk to you when you're hysterical."

You have to follow "Calm down!" with "what's wrong with you?" It's the ultimate 1-2 punch.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!!"

Here you go....
"WOMAN, KEEP YOU'RE MOUTH SHUT UNTIL I TELL YOU TO OPEN IT."
(unzip sound)
"NOW OPEN IT!"

My wife once blew up b/c I wanted her to go out and have a drink with her friends. It was hilarious, and she even admitted it was crazy she just couldn't turn it off.
