In case you didn’t catch it last week, we started a new feature called Slang of the Week. Nick and I believe that the vernacular should be celebrated. This week’s slang is salty. I’ve never heard anyone use it outside western PA, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start. This one is simple, easy to use, and can be understood using context clues alone.
salt·y [sawl-tee] –adjective, salt·i·er, salt·i·est.
–adjective
1. sad or upset, often used as a taunt: Don’t get all salty just because your cat died.
2. angry or raging to the point of tears: Angela was pretty salty when her husband left her at the altar
[Origin: 1980-1990, the mean streets; see Crusty]
