So we are talking about anger.
What makes you angry?
As you can see, this couple here, they are not happy with each other.
You might say that they have become angry.
They are not very happy about their situation, especially at work.
I think one of the hardest social interactions to actually deal with must be
work colleagues.
Because you have no choice.
It's a little bit like families really.
You have no choice as to who your relatives are.
But the other thing is, you also have no choice who your work colleagues are.
So maybe if you work in an office and you are surrounded by people, and maybe some of those people
are not very nice, or maybe they are just annoying, maybe they make you angry every day.
It can make the work environment much harder to deal with, I think so.
So what about you?
Do you ever get angry?
There are many ways of expressing that feeling of rage.
You can say that you are angry.
You feel angry.
It is one of those negative emotions that I suppose we all feel from time to time.
I do, even me.
And people do say, Mr Duncan, we can't believe that you get angry.
But I do sometimes, not often, I have to say.
It's been a long time since I've really got angry about anything.
You might also get annoyed.
Something that is making you feel angry, but very slowly.
So, if something is annoying you, maybe it is doing it very subtly, maybe it is doing it on a very small way, or in a very small way.
minor anger, or something that is annoying you a little bit, can slowly build up over time.
So you might feel that your anger is slowly building up, it is slowly growing, you are becoming
annoyed.
So we often see annoyance as something that is there, but it doesn't make you completely angry.
It is happening slowly.
Maybe your neighbour has a noisy dog.
Maybe it keeps barking every morning, keeping you awake.
It is an annoyance.
You feel annoyed by it.
You might also feel
irritated as well.
An irritated person is a person who is bothered by something, something that you hear or see.
You feel irritated by it.
People
can be very irritating.
They can really irritate you.
They might also make you angry or cross.
So this is another way of expressing anger.
You feel anger.
You feel cross.
I always find that quite an interesting word to use as a synonym for anger, to be honest.
You might also feel furious.
A furious person is a person whose anger has already built up to a very high level.
That person feels angry.
They are furious about something.
They are finding it so hard to contain their anger.
They feel furious.
you might be infuriated by something.
So this is something that might be happening again and again and slowly it is making you angry, you feel infuriated, your anger is building up inside you, it is slowly building, you feel infuriated
Enraged.
A person can feel enraged.
Their anger is growing.
The emotion of anger.
They are beginning to become angry.
they are enraged by something.
Of course we did hear the word outrage earlier and the word outrage again is very similar to enraged.
You feel angry about a certain thing, a certain topic or maybe something a person has done
incensed oh yes a person can become incensed when they feel angry or they feel annoyed about something they are incensed again you might hear a person say something you might hear a person express an opinion that you don't agree with it will make you become incensed
I like that word.
Here's another one.
Riled.
So this means that something, an external force or an external thing that is out of your control is making you feel angry.
Something will rile you.
It is making your anger grow.
Maybe a person who is noisy, maybe a neighbour, maybe a friend who keeps calling you and complaining all the time about things.
You might feel slightly riled by it because it is annoying.
It is something that is making you feel angry.
you become irate.
So this is the result.
You might say that this is the result of the feeling of anger.
You become irate.
As your anger grows, you become more irate.
Here's another one.
You are
fuming.
A person is fuming.
A person is showing their anger.
So their anger has reached a high level.
They are now fuming.

Maybe they are sweating and shaking because they are so angry.
They are fuming.
They have reached the peak of their anger.
Seething.

That person is very angry.
They are seething with anger.
You might describe a person as livid as well.
That person is so angry,
I was livid.
My neighbours were having a party last night and they were playing loud music and I was livid.
It made me angry.
You become livid.
Maybe if a person becomes so angry they turn red.
Maybe their face will glow with a red colour as their blood pressure rises.
We can say that person becomes incandescent.
They are glowing with anger.
They have become so angry that they can't hide their emotional state at all.
Their blood pressure rises and they quite often become red.
You can say that that person is incandescent.
They are literally glowing with anger.
you might be up in arms over something.
If you are up in arms, it means you feel very angry about something.
You feel enraged by something.
Maybe in politics, maybe a politician has done or said something that makes you feel angry.
Then you might be up in arms
You can be beside yourself with anger.
That's better.

You feel so angry, it's almost as if you feel as if you've left your body.

I will stay relaxed.
So these are now opposite words.
So this is the opposite of angry.
A person who is not angry, a person who is able to deal with all the situations, is relaxed.
These days it is hard to stay relaxed all the time.
Some people say that it's very difficult to keep your cool and stay relaxed.
Talking of which, we can also use the word cool.
