get carried away

phraseB2Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

To get carried away is to become so excited that you lose control of yourself. Get carried away with the planning, sorry, I get carried away.

It is a gentle admission rather than a real criticism, and people use it of themselves as an apology. What carries you away is enthusiasm, so the phrase never describes anger.
