The crossword clue "Anger over a grammatically incorrect sentence?" with the answer "RUNONFUMES" refers to a clever wordplay that combines two distinct meanings.

In the context of the clue, "fumes" signifies anger or frustration, as in the idiomatic expression "fuming with anger." Thus, "RUNONFUMES" cleverly merges these two ideas: the frustration (anger) associated with a run-on sentence. The phrase also plays on the idea of "running on fumes," which is an expression used to describe someone who is exhausted but still pushing forward, further emphasizing a state of frustration or depletion.
