splenetic

very irritable

Ever since the car accident, Frank has been unable to walk without a cane, and so he has become splenetic and unpleasant to be around.

Unlike Mitchell he didn't send me the rejection letters, but from the tone of his voice it sounded like they were once again eye-poppingly splenetic.

I am told that "splenetic" language could be heard from the direction of the PM's office as soon as Brown read Darling's interview on Tuesday.
