Stop Saying “I’m ANGRY!” – Learn English Expressions


sometimes people make you really angry
and you just want to say to that person
oh you make me angry of course there are
better ways to say that
whether you’re very angry or just a
little bit angry you can express the
specific level that you’re feeling so
these are all adjectives these in the
middle these can be for a little bit
they can be for a lot it depends if you
say I’m very annoyed it’s this but if
you say I’m a little bit annoyed it’s
this they’re not only this and they’re
not only this pronunciation annoyed I’m
really annoyed angry I’m really angry
irate the stress is on the second
syllable irate usually with this word
you hear quite don’t talk to him he’s
quite irate right now mad now this can
mean crazy and it can mean angry so if
someone says don’t talk to him he’s mad
you might want clarification you might
want to say mad or mad cross this one is
very very British Americans they don’t
use this one this one’s just British and
very cross also other than my parents
when I was young I don’t think anyone
else uses it I haven’t heard this one in
a long time so I would say that cross is
quite old-fashioned but you might still
hear it ticked-off is very fun and we’ll
come back to that in a moment
upset now upset has two meanings one is
I like you’re sad the second meaning is
this you’re a bit angry a little bit
angry I’m upset with you don’t talk to
me Oh which reminds me
all of these adjectives the preposition
that you need is at or live for example
my friend was really mad at me because I
a is pizza or last night I dreamt that
my best friend was
trying to kill me so I woke up still
feeling quite angry with my best friend
so peeved worked miffed they all mean a
little bit annoyed with something or a
situation or a person but they’re not
very common to use or hear but an
example would be he was listing his best
friends and he didn’t say my name I’m a
bit miffed and the last one irritated so
these ones usually imply that you’re a
little bit angry
these ones remember depends how you
modify it
it could mean vary it could mean a
little bit but if you’re very angry if
you are a child or if you are offended
by vulgar words stop watching right now
go do something else
if you don’t mind vulgar words keep
watching so pronunciation live it and
live it furious fuming seething and
these two yet they’re quite vulgar at
their swear words I’m pissed off I’m
really off so these ones are very
specifically very angry these ones are
specifically a little bit angry and
these ones depending how you modify it
can mean very angry can mean a little
bit angry and remember these are all
adjectives so it’s I am this word he/she
it is this word and if you specify an
object then you need this preposition or
this preposition couple of examples I am
furious at my boss he won’t let me have
a day off oh my god I’m so pissed off my
friend told me spoilers for my favorite
TV show she told me what’s gonna happen
in the next episode
so tell me when was the last time you
felt one of these and why when someone
makes you angry or annoyed or irritated
usually they don’t
know that they are doing it we have an
expression for that to rub someone up
the wrong way for example a cat if you
rub it the correct way the cats happy
everyone’s good but if you rub a cat the
wrong way you’re gonna have an angry cat
hmm don’t do that and the same applies
for everything if something makes you
angry makes you irritated it rubs you up
the wrong way this is most common when
you meet someone and you don’t know why
I don’t like you you don’t know why you
don’t like them but something they do or
something in the way that they talk it
really annoys you I don’t know why I
hate him he just he rubs me up the wrong
way
other ways that you can say this person
annoys me someone makes you very angry
they wind you up so again this cat could
say ah
he really winds me up gets my goat this
one I love this expression it’s fun to
use it’s more American than English
English people don’t often say this one
but it’s fun so the cat could say really
gets my goat
really makes me angry again kind of
old-fashioned kind of American but you
might still hear it and it is fun to use
alright gets me riled up when someone
makes you very angry he gets you riled
up these ones are much stronger again
the kind of vulgar so if you don’t like
those words don’t use them but you might
still hear them so it’s good to
understand alright pisses me off
I really me off that’s much
stronger you can hear it right and ticks
me off remember before with the
adjectives to tick someone off or to
feel ticked off that is not vulgar that
one is fine to use with everyone it’s
not vulgar not a swear word it’s quite
mild
for that reason because it’s a mild word
remember depending on how you modify it
it could mean very angry it could mean
just a little bit angry so for example
the cat could say he really ticks me off
that would mean Barry or I’m a bit
ticked off my Instagram post only got
five likes when you’re in an annoying
situation we have a special way to talk
about that for example if you’re like me
and your phone sucks it keeps breaking
I’m just trying to send a message but
you keep breaking stupid phone
so that or any situation which is
annoying say this oh this is a pain or
if you want to add more emphasis oh this
is such a pain if you want more emphasis
it’s a pain in the neck or as phone is a
pain in the ass
remember American English pain in the
ass oh my god that’s a penny ass
something I hear in London I don’t think
Americans use it is this I taking the
tube during rush hour in London it’s a
pain in the tits
remember tits means boobs but it doesn’t
matter if you’re a male or a female you
can say it’s still fine it’s that weird
British sense of humor that we have
again let me know in the comments what
do you find is a pain in the tits
what’s a pain in the ass what’s a pain
in the neck for you what if the
situation gets more annoying when you
want to say oh my god if one more thing
happens I’m going to explode then you
would say this I’m at the end of my
tether
but then she dropped her phone and she
she lost her temper imagine temper is
her calmness so if she loses her temper
then this happens we can also say she
dropped her phone and she lost her
again that’s quite strong it’s quite
vulgar that’s a swear word be careful or
a British thing to say would be she
dropped her phone she lost her rag you
can also say she blew a fuse blue that’s
the past of blow to blow a fuse means
this it’s the same thing or she flew off
the handle blue that’s the past of blow
flue is the past of fly all three they
mean she did this she went crazy fly off
the handle is quite interesting it means
this but more specifically it means you
act inappropriately angry so if you get
angry and you say something bad to
someone because you’re angry when you
apologize you should say I’m really
sorry that I flew off the handle thanks
for watching let me know in the comments
when was the last time that you flew off
the handle what or who rubs you up the
wrong way tell me a funny story about
someone losing their in public
