furibund

[k8cre8.livejournal.com]

I suspect that it's Valentine's Day that brings out some of my inner blood lust, looking for carnage, and destruction, with a side of horror-tinged gore. I know, I'm an old softy. 

( Nothing like a zombie apocalypse, to say "Valentine's Day." )

furibund / FUR - eh - BUND /adj.  Latin furious, frenzied; irate

A pretty straight-forward immigrant to the English language, it is from the Latin "furibundus," which means "frantic" or "furious."  It is also translated as "choleric," which is characterized by that quick-sliver flash of anger.
