Cool down, I say

Angry, are you? Do you feel your blood boiling? At the risk of making you angrier, here are a few words I suggest, you could use, to describe an angry person.

Annoyed: troubled, irritated

Being annoyed is never a pleasant feeling. You experience it when your sibling is getting on your nerves, bugging you.

Furious: very angry

It means you are full of fury or mad with anger.

Fuming: Feel, show or express great anger

Have you ever been accused of something you never did? Look around. Are you fuming ? As a noun fume means smoke, steam or vapour and that explains why cartoons have fumes coming out of the angry person’s ears. Funny sight, so avoid fuming!

Enraged: to be marked by extreme anger

When you are enraged your face might turn red and you might throw a fit. Not a pleasant sight.

Now can’t help it if I just made you blue in the face or go hopping mad at me. Well, if it did, cool down, I say.
