Startle the witch - what is it?

A phrase originating from the video game Left 4 Dead that is to perform an action or say something that instantly transforms your good woman (wifey) from herself to a raving, dangerous banshee.

Jon: Lisa's freaking out man! I don't know what to do!

Pat: What did you do?

Jon: All I said was that I needed a little space.

Pat: Saying shit like that will ALWAYS startle the witch.
