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 one yes it's very simple '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 a lot of anger negativity towards you 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 So, we have covered three words so far 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 actually means - Very violently angry 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 was ready to criticize him, put him down 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 has nothing to do with hopping or skipping or jumping, 'Hopping mad' is somebody who is so angry that they might have to jump up and down up and down just to calm themselves down or just to express their anger. So, I could say that - 'Hopping mad' means jumping up and down with anger. When I was made to wait in the line for three whole hours I was hopping mad, which means , I was jumping up and down in the line just to kind of express my anger and let all that angry energy out. Well! that's what 'Hopping mad' means. means. Moving on I have 'livid' for you,'livid' is a form of anger wherein you have lost all control of your senses. So, complete loss of control due to anger So, 'livid' is somebody who can slap you at any point, yell at you at any point or do anything to you at any point, because they are so angry that they are unable to control themselves So, well make sure you don't get any drill of it, because that's not safe for you So, I could use 'livid' in a sentence and say something like - When I saw a little boy hit a powerless little puppy, I was livid with rage, because you know what I'm not somebody who takes cruelty to animals very very easily, I just detest it. So, well that's your usage for 'livid' and I'm gonna go over the list one more time. There's 'Bitter' meaning seething and resentful, 'Caustic' which means that satcastic, 'Boiling' which means extremely angry. 'Aggravated' which means violently angry. 'Cheesed off' which means getting angry very quickly. 'Ticked off' getting angry in an instant, just in the tick of the clock. 'Vitriolic' meaning angry enough to criticize the other person 'Antagonistic' meaning angry with opposing viewpoint . 'Hopping mad' - someone who's jumping up n down with anger. and 'livid' which means someone losing complete control due to anger. So, well these are my list of words used to describe anger make sure you get them right and they'll add a lot of value to your vocabulary and make sure you don't practice any of these, because I don't see them coming off with very great and positive effects but I really hope you enjoyed this and if you have someone more words to add to my list make sure you type in the comment box below This is me 'Rima' saying bye and keep smiling , don't be angry.....
