(Disclaimer) Poop vocabulary incoming. (Disclaimer)
This expression is coming from the face of a baby turning to red while pooping, as red as an adult being furious about something. But as far as we know, no need to be angry to poop, that's why we added "Nervous" to make the comparison more clear.
In conclusion, "faire un caca nerveux" (make a nervous poop) means that someone is being super mad at something unimportant. Turning into red for... nothing.
Someone is getting super mad about something that doesn't really matter and should definitely take a chill pill, in this case use: "N'en fais pas un caca nerveux" (Don't make a nervous poop about it).
