To feel "kind of" irritable and cranky, with a slight brooding or morose
mood. Grumpy and bitter, but still feeling lively. Similar to
angst but crankish people are often preoccupied and content with
life.
Unlike
angst and apprehension, people who are crankish tend to enjoy the harsh situation in the moment, rather than wallow over trivial issues. Unlike people who are edgy, people who are crankish do not want to be seen as cool and often show sarcasm, wit and dark humor. Angsty people ask why. Crankish people just sigh.
