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

Why the long face?

What's wrong with my face?

I mean, why are you looking so... grumpy?

Grumpy!?

Yes... moody.

Moody! There's nothing wrong. This is my normal face.

Why are you throwing so many insults at me?

Oh, come on, you do look a bit bad-tempered.

I'm not bad-tempered.

But I'm getting angry now.

Oh, great! Then I can describe you as mardy.

Mardy? I hope that's not another insult.

It's not an insult - but 'mardy' does describe someone who's in a bad mood, moans a lot and gets annoyed easily.

So, thanks for demonstrating that, 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's 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.

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!

If you say so, Feifei.

But I know something to make you mardy.

Oh, yes?

You're going to have to record this programme again.

What? Again? Why?

You forgot to explain that 'mardy' also describes someone who is sulky or grumpy.

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!

Who's mardy now?

Or he is just acting? Bye!
