To become enraged.

Australia, slang

Examples

Dad was […] the man who slaved his guts out to win the status of a landowner, got dead drunk and was carried home from the local pub, and did his block, and shouted and raved, and sometimes bawled like a bull, but at other times was tender with man and beast.”
“He looked so sympathetic that I felt sorry about doing my block and asked him to have a whisky.”
“I did my block and told him that he was there because I had consented to him being there, he wasn′t part of the interviewing team, and that if he was a smart-arse one more time, there would probably be a fight in the interview room.”
