Are you easy to tick off? Known to have a short fuse? Then, you could be described as choleric. Don't worry; it's not a disease related to cholera. Choleric just means you're testy and irritable.

If you were quick to anger, you were thought to have too much choler in your system. You were called choleric. W. C.
