Hangry 飢餓成怒 2016-10-03

Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. 
I'm Feifei and joining me is Sian.
Hi everyone.
Are you OK, Sian? Yes, of course I am! Can you just get on with the program?
Um Sian, have you had your breakfast today? No, I haven't.
I overslept and then the bus was late uh, it's just not been a good day so far.
Hmmm, maybe we should do the programme once you've eaten something. Here, have this chocolate bar.
Oh I'm sorry, I know I'm a bit hangry this morning.
I do tend to get moody when I don't eat. My husband's always complaining about it.
Hangry? Don't you mean angry?
No, 'hangry'. 'Hangry' describes someone who is angry - or irritable - as a result of being hungry.
Like me today - I'm feeling a bit annoyed because I haven't eaten breakfast.
You certainly are. So 'hangry' is a combination of 'angry' and 'hungry'.
Yes, that's right. Let's hear a few examples:
This food is taking forever to arrive. I'm not coming to this restaurant again.
Oh dear, someone's getting hangry. Let's get you some food quickly.
My boyfriend is a nightmare whenever he misses a meal; he gets so hangry.
People tend to get a bit hangry when their blood sugar level drops.
Interesting. You wouldn't catch me getting hangry though. I'm always very chilled.
Is that right Feifei? You know I'm feeling much happier after eating that chocolate bar.
Shall we do the programme again? I feel ready now.
No! Come on that will do. I'm starving.
Oh dear. It seems like you're a bit hangry too Feifei. Let's get you to the cafe now.
Good idea! Let's go.app
