peevish (PEEV ish) Most people have a pet peeve, something that fre-quently annoys us, but we should try not to act peevish in response. This adjective describes the mood of one who is unpleasant to be around. It’s roughly synonymous with “petulant” (#9), but if that word retains some sense of sending a bad mood outward onto others, a “peevish” mood may go more inward into a crabbed, grumpy state of mind.

  • When Dana was in a peevish mood, all efforts to draw him out only made him retreat further into his mental cave.
  • Although Clarice turned down Randy’s request that she accompany him on his trip, she did offer to drive him to the airport. He peevishly replied, “It’s the least you can do.”
