Is this a correct sentence

When he heard the news, he blew up on me.
  

Top answer

Personally I would say "blew up at me". However, "blew up on me" seems to be used too. These are informal expressions.

Whereas "blew up" has more than one meaning (detonating a bomb, for example), "blew up at me" would normally mean "got angry at/with me".
