Tired and emotional

Meaning "drunk," a catchphrase popularised by the British satirical magazine Private Eye in 1967 after being used in a spoof diplomatic memo to describe the state of Labour Cabinet minister George Brown.

The party dragged on too long, Sam kept getting shot down by the girls he spoke too, and by dawn you could say he was tired and emotional.

Emotional Crit

What one says after hurting another's feelings enough that they are left completely Speechless (or possibly in tears)

Mark: Steve, you're such an unbelievable prick that I hope you fall down in the middle of a construction site because you broke both of your legs and then have each and every muscle and bone crushed into oblivion as a JCB runs over your corpse...

Steve:*overwhelmed at the previous statement but at the same time fearfully anticipating this possibility*

Mark: EMOTIONAL CRIT!

emotional time bomb

Someone who keeps to themselves but listen to everyone else's problems. On the outside, this person is quiet but cautious. On the inside, this person is dealing with conflicts (feeling lonely, unappreciated, worthless, etc). This person never let's people in, so expressing any feelings is uncomfortable. Once in a while, this "time bomb" has no more room for emotions, exploding into anger and tears from frustration.

"Susan won't let anyone in. She's bound to explode like an emotional time bomb if she keeps everything inside like this."

emotional punching bag

When another person, typically the person you like, uses you to get rid of all their problems (anger, frustration, sadness etc.) and could care less about you.

This girl I liked treated me like an emotional punching bag. She always came to me when she had problems, but never really cared for me.
