Definition
气死 is a colloquial resultative verb (r.v.) that literally means 'anger to death'. It has two main uses: transitively (气死 + object) to say someone or something makes you furious, and stative (often with 了 as 气死了) to express that you are extremely angry. It's a common hyperbolic expression in daily conversation — not actually talking about death.
