A knee-jerk reaction is an instinctive reflex. For example, if someone begins screaming insults at you for no apparent reason, your automatic reaction (knee-jerk) may be to get angry and scream insults right back at them, instead of first trying to find out why they are angry at you.

A knee-jerk reaction is an automatic or reflexive response without much thought or consideration. It typically occurs when someone reacts quickly and impulsively in a situation without fully processing the information.
