itchy to do something

It means that one had an interest, desire or impulse to do something. It often indicates that one wants to have a try or to show his skills, or that he wants to do something that he has not done for some time. It is derogatory when what one is in the habit of doing is an unpleasant thing.

指做某事的兴趣、欲望或冲动。通常用来指想试试或显示自己的某种技艺,或者有意做一段时间不再做的事情。如果习惯所做的是不好的事,则含有贬义。
