It's not a specific outburst but a final, willful resistance to God's saving power, attributing the Spirit's good work to evil, leaving no path to forgiveness because the person refuses to accept the means of salvation through Jesus. 

How do you know if you've committed the unforgivable sin?

You know you haven't committed the unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit) if you still desire God, feel sorrow for sin, want forgiveness, and are open to Jesus; the unforgivable sin is a persistent, willful, and final rejection of the Holy Spirit's work, leading to a hardened heart where repentance becomes impossible, not a single mistake or intrusive thought. If you're worried about it, that concern itself shows you haven't crossed that line, as only a tender heart would worry.
