Cranky
Irritation made verbal. Snapping at someone who pushes my buttons out of proportion to what they’ve said. Maybe I’m cranky for no good reason, maybe I didn’t get enough sleep or I fell out of bed in the middle of the night or I put on my sweater inside out. Crankiness has a tinge of arbitrariness, of the trivial. I have to justify my crankiness by claiming I’m cranky because of something serious.
