take out one's anger on something unrelated; have an outburst of anger
Describes a situation where someone is so angry that they vent their frustration on a person or thing that is not the original cause. The phrase uses 遷す (to transfer/move) to express the displacement of anger. Often used when someone snaps at an innocent bystander or breaks something out of rage.
After being scolded by his boss, he banged on the desk as if taking out his anger.
Unlike 八つ当たり, 怒りを遷す strongly implies directly lashing out at objects or people.
