'"Look, son," the cop says. "There's no need to get all shirty with me."
'"Shirty??"
'"YES, shirty."
'I quite like the word.' -the book I Am The Messenger, by Markus Zusak
The only thing I love more than this word is the fact that it was on Buffy. I once won a bet with my Dad that "shirty" was a real word. Having read my Wodehouse I knew I was right. Ha!
“He saw how shirty she was about it” (P.G. Wodehouse)
Etymology: Probably from to get someone's shirt out, to annoy, or to keep one's shirt on, to keep from being annoyed.
Spike: That's fine. You don't have to get shirty about it.
Buffy: I'm not shirty. And what is shirty? That's not even a word.
