I + rascible = IRASCIBLE
i·ras·ci·ble
[ih-ras–uh-buhl] –adjective 1. easily provoked to anger; very irritable www.dictionary.comWe probably all know someone who is very irascible. A teacher, a friend, a parent, a neighbor. Funny though how subjective that can be. I’ve noticed that with my kids, a raised voice to them will always make them think I’m really mad. Sometimes I am, but usually I’m just trying to get their attention. They might think I am irascible, yet in my mind I have a very long rope.
Would someone describe you as one who is irascible?
I remember doing the same thing and they'd say 'gosh you're angry" and I wasn't, just as you say trying to make myself heard! Sue@JumpingAground (Alliteration & drabbles)

I think I'm generally described as the opposite of irascible…that sometimes makes the people around me irascible : )
I love new words
Great word. Great word to use in a story, too! Kids would love it.
As for me, nope, not irascible at all. I think "cheerful" would describe me.
I don't get angry easily. I hate that emotion. I neutralize it with a power walk and a prayer.
Now that you mention it, more than a few. I have one of "those" voices. ;0)
