Interesting. Thank you for that perspective. You may already know, but "hangry" is english slang for "I'm so hungry, I'm angry!", or "I'm very grumpy right now

Interesting. Thank you for that perspective. You may already know, but "hangry" is english slang for "I'm so hungry, I'm angry!", or "I'm very grumpy right now because I'm so hungry". As in: "I don't care where we eat, just pull the damn car over at the next stop - I'm HANGRY!" (see also: "hucken fungry")
I could see the h-insertion leading to comical lost-in-translation situations.
- w-m 4y agoYep, this makes it quite the minefield, when a French person you don't know too well tells you "I'm really really hangry right now". Are they grumpy and hungry and joking, or so completely furious that they started overcompensating? Choose wisely on how to respond :)
