10 ADVANCED ways to say ANGRY or ANNOYED Advanced English Vocabulary

hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy you might remember

that a couple of weeks ago i uploaded a

video about happy related expressions

expressions and idioms related to

happiness while i was thinking the other

day it’s great to be happy and positive

but it’s also really really important to

know how to express yourself when you’re

angry or annoyed getting angry or

annoyed is human nature and we need to

know how to express ourselves so i’m

taking care of that today let’s get

started now i’m sure many of you will

know the typical more basic ones like

angry cross mad but today i want to show

with you some more alternative

vocabulary more advanced vocabulary and

some idioms and some expressions that

you can use so this video is going to

help you express yourself it’s going to

help you with your speaking it’s also

going to help you with your listening so

that you can understand natives when

they speak to you hopefully you don’t

have too many native speakers getting

angry with you but if you want to take

your speaking to the next level then i

really really recommend you check out a

so make sure you check out that by

clicking on the link below right let’s

get started with the lesson just a quick

warning a couple of the words that I’m

going to talk about could offend some

people or maybe you don’t want your

children knowing them no swear words but

if you’re around children headphones in

and if you’re easily offended then you

can you can find another video you’ve

been warned the first bit of new

vocabulary that I’m going to share with

you is actually a phrasal verb and this

is to piss

and you can also be pissed off and it

means to make angry or to annoy so I

could say I felt really pissed off when

I saw that somebody had scratched my car

or I think I really pissed my teacher

off when I didn’t hand in my homework on

time just so you know that word - piss

off piss on its own is actually a vulgar

word for to urinate so it’s not

respectful so around friends very

informal situations but it’s important

you understand it the next one is

another phrasal verb and this is to rile

somebody up to rile one up and again it

means to make somebody angry to push

them until they maybe explode or lose

their temper so to rile up or to rile

somebody up is to make them angry

so I could say somebody’s been picking

on me for a while and they’re really

riling me up I feel like I’m going to

lose my temper

okay the next words all go with the verb

to be so these are all ways of saying to

be angry or to be annoyed so the first

one to be livid livid just means really

really really angry then we have to be

fuming again similar to livid really

really angry then we have to be seething

if you see you are just so angry then we

have a couple that aren’t as strong we

have to be it worked that’s annoyed and

just ever so slightly pissed off and we

also have miffed if somebody does

something that makes you go oh then you

could say you feel a bit missed and now

I have some idioms for you some

expressions that we like to use to

express annoyance or anger the first one

is to rub somebody up the wrong way or

also to rub somebody the wrong way the

up is optional and to rub somebody the

wrong way think about it this way you

can stroke a cat the right way or you

can stroke them the wrong way and it

annoys them well this is exactly the

same for people if you rub somebody up

the wrong way you are treating them in a

way that

like to make some angry or annoyed that

really rubbed me up for the wrong way

that really annoyed me the next one to

be at the end of one’s tether so if I

say I’m at the end of my tether it means

I am this close to losing my temper to

getting really really angry

you’ve really offended me you’ve really

annoyed me I’m this close to really

exploding another very similar one is

the last straw so the last straw is that

final thing in a collection of many

little things I’ve annoyed you but that

one thing it’s the last straw it’s the

thing that makes you lose your temper so

I could say I had a terrible day but my

running training being canceled was the

last straw I just screw it with really

angry the next two are about losing your

temper and obviously if you lose your

temper it means that’s it you are you

are angry you’re shouting you get maybe

a bit aggressive so one way of saying to

lose one’s temper is to lose ones lag so

rag replaces temper in this case so if

somebody lost their rag it means they

exploded in a fit of anger and another

option is to fly off the handle again to

lose ones rags to fly off the handle to

lose one’s temper so I’ve got some

homework for you I would like you to

write in the comment section something

that made you angry or annoyed recently

if you want to share it of course I

think it will be really interesting

normally I’m all about spreading

positivity but I don’t know today I want

to spread the annoyance and the anger so
