A creative way of calling someone salty. When someone is greedy, mad or just plain rude. Much like Veruca Salt from the classic movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
In the classic Roald Dahl kids' book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Veruca Salt is an obnoxious, spoiled richbrat. She seems sweet and innocent from the surface, but she yells, screams and gets aggressive when she doesn't get her way. Meets her messy end in the nut room, where she ends up down the garbage chute.
Veruca Salt is also the second Golden Ticket winner for a tour of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Only the best female alternative/grunge rock act of the 90s, unfairly crapped on by critics and only 2 of their singles "Volcano girls" and "Seether" got popular. Even their single "Shutterbug," with a very high-budget video and SNL performance, was mostly ignored. Released an amazing comeback album in July 2015 and guess what....... still nobody but the fans care. But, to Hell with the masses anyway.

Person 1: No, the 90s band.
Person 2: She was in a band?
Person 1: facepalm
