English Lesson to Describe Anger ( Synonyms)

Hi and welcome to today's lesson,my name is Rima and today's lesson is very

程度副詞

very interesting. Well this lesson is all about describing anger, that's right

using various words to describe that one emotion that all of us go through at

various points in life and yes that is anger. So, I have a  list of words, all of these words

actually.... you know..... describe different sides, different angles of anger, because anger is

one complicated emotion. So I'm gonna start with the first one on my list and this

'Bitter' now bitter is a taste in our mouth, we've all had bitter things to eat, you had

bitter medicine.So, anger  can also be described as bitter, so bitter would actually

mean anger which is very very seething and resentful.

So, somebody who actually harbors really negative feelings for you, is somebody who is very bitter about

you or about something that happened with you.  So I could say something like -When Sally and I had a

massive fight, Sally remained bitter for the next two years. Wow! that happens

between friends. doesn't it? You have one explosive argument and then it's like

the relationship not the same anymore it's become bitter it's become angry and

so negative. So bitter means anger which has a very very negative impact and a

lasting impact of that. So that's bitter for you, moving on I have the

word 'Caustic' Now 'Caustic'  is another form of anger, which can be very very

hurtful. So, caustic could also mean being sarcastic. So somebody who harbors

and how does that come out, it comes out in the way the person actually addresses

you and talks to you. I could use this in a sentence and say things like-  Sally made some

caustic remarks about me at dinner. Which means -  A. Sally was angry with me

B. She's been angry for a while and C. She actually made hurtful comments about me.

to make sure that I indirectly realize that yes she is angry with me.

So, that is the use of the word 'Caustic' wherein somebody tries to put you down

or being very hurtful towards  you because they are angry with you, my God!!

anger can be a dangerous emotion to harbor, right? Well! moving on I have the word

'Boiling' yes! Now what does boiling bring to your mind

boiling water, steaming water, which is really hot so, when somebody's

temperature or temper becomes boiling that means that they are very... very... very...

angry. So, yes boiling can mean extremely angry.

So you could say something  like - When I reached office late, my boss was

boiling with rage, which meanshis temper had reached paramount

proportions and God bless me!!!...... that's right

Bitter, Caustic and Boiling and as you can see all of these described whereas sides of anger

because anger like I said is one complicated emotion, moving on the next

one yes! 'Aggravated' a long word and a very aggressive one. Well!  Aggravated

Which means somebody who is so angry with you that you could probably expect them to pick up the next

thing in their hand and throw it at you, like the person can get violent anytime and

the person could get aggressive, bang doors , throw tantrums all of that can happen

when you a aggravate somebody. So you know what,  I could use it in a sentence and

say -  When Sally and I had that crazy fight, she was so aggravated that I thought, yes I

need to run for my life, because  there was no sane what Sally would have done to me

so, aggravated actually means so aggressively angry that you could expect

violence and yes, that's your cue to actually make an exit. So, that's aggravated

for you and moving on we have 'Cheesed off'  now, 'Cheesed off' this phrase

actually kinda makes me feel very hungry, because I love cheese all the types

of wonderful cheese, that are available in the world, but right now this has

something to do with anger. So, 'Cheesed off' means somebody who's just very angry

with you and angry because of a particular instance so you can use the

word in a sentence like - My behavior really cheesed off my family that

evening. Which means that instance or that incident actually let to them....

getting angry with me in a very instantaneous and fast fashion.... I mean it

was a moment that took them to get cheesed off with me. So, my family was

cheesed off at my behavior. So, cheesed off means  getting angry quickly

The next one is very interesting because it is  very similar to 'Cheesed off'

Now, 'Cheesed off' and 'Ticked off' have very... very closer meanings

and  yes you could actually replace one for the other in a sentence, but there is a slight and a very subtle

difference which I'm good explain to you. So, ticked off.... so, Ticked off actually

reminds you of the ticking of a clock, doesn't it?

yeah! so, if I say - Sally is ticked off with me because of my comment. So, ticked off is a form of anger which

has a reason and that reason could be one particular type of behavior

particular comment or an incident, so you see how..... so how close they are in meaning

cheesed off and ticked off... you know I could say something like - When I

commented about Sally's overly red hair, she got ticked off, that means it took that

one comment to get her temper up, to get her to flare up, and get ticked off

So, ticked off is very very close to cheesed off and one can be replaced

with the other, and mostly it means the same thing -  getting angry in an instant.

Moving on.... now this one is quite interesting 'Vitriolic' now 'Vitriolic'  means

someone who is ready to spew venom  confused?  I'm sure you are... I'm gonna

explain and make it really simple to understand 'Vitriolic'  so 'Vitriolic'  actually

means someone who is angry with you, angry enough to criticize you

After her break Sally went 'Vitriolic' about her boyfriend, which means she was so angry with him and the

way she was treated on the experience that they had with each other that she

speak about him in not such good terms, which means she went on 'Vitriolic'  on him

which means all the inner anger that she was harboring against him

came out in the word ...in the form of caustic words,  angry comments and not very very

appreciated remarks, so, 'Vitriolic'  could be very tricky but the usage makes it very simple to

understand - After her breakup Sally went all 'Vitriolic'  about her

boyfriend.  Well! moving on we have three more and these are very very interesting

itself there's 'Antagonistic', 'Hopping mad' and 'Livid'

Now, antagonistic is a very very loaded term, antagonistic means someone who is angry

enough to become your enemy, so someone who is angry in such a way that he and

you have opposing opinions and thinking patterns. So angry with opposite view points.

So, you could use this in a sentence and say something like -  I kept my mouth shut

because I did not want to antagonize Sally, that's right which means I didn't

want to get Sally so angry with me that she would actually harbor resentment

against me and have like completely different point and I could probably

lose her friendship which means antagonize is an action that you might

do and make an enemy out of someone who you could be dealing with work wise or personally

So, make sure that you do not antagonize people with your behavior, your speech or your

actions. So, that is antagonistic for you, fairly long and loaded but yes

it has a very very relevant meaning if you use it you'll come across as

somebody who's really in control of their temper and their vocabulary. Moving on I

have 'Hopping mad'... sounds funny doesn't it? Well! it has nothing to do with being mad and it
