Mardy: The English We Speak - YouTube

Feifei: Hello and welcome to The English

We Speak. I'm Feifei.

Rob: And hi, I'm Rob. Hey, Feifei.

Why the long face?

Feifei: What's wrong with my face?

Rob: I mean, why are you looking so...

grumpy?

Feifei: Grumpy!?

Rob: Yes... moody.

Feifei: Moody! There is nothing wrong -

this is my normal face. Why are you

throwing so many insults at me?

Rob: Oh come on, you do look

a bit bad-tempered.

Feifei: I'm not bad-tempered.

But I'm getting angry now.

Rob: Oh great! Then I can describe you

as mardy.

Feifei: Mardy? I hope that's not

another insult.

Rob: It's not an insult - but 'mardy' does

describe someone who is in a bad mood,

moans a lot and gets annoyed easily.

So, thanks for demonstrating that, Feifei!

Feifei: My pleasure!

Let's hear some examples...

There are no desks for Pedro to work at

today so he has to sit on the sofa -

no wonder he is so mardy.

My boyfriend is always so mardy - nothing

seems to please him. Maybe I shouldn't

have come home drunk last night!

Steer clear of me today.

I only had four hours sleep last night

and I'm really mardy today.

Feifei: This is The English We Speak from

BBC Learning English and we're talking

about the word 'mardy', which describes

someone in a bad mood. As I was saying, Rob,

I am not mardy!

Rob: If you say so, Feifei.

Feifei: But I know something

to make you mardy.

Rob: Oh yes?

Feifei: You're going to have to record

this programme again.

Rob: What? Again? Why?

Feifei: You forgot to explain that 'mardy'

also describes someone who is

sulky or grumpy.

Rob: Hmm, you're just being awkward.

I'm not going to start this programme

again - I'm too busy.

Right, I'm off to get a coffee. Goodbye!

Feifei: Who's mardy now?

Or he is just acting? Bye!
