Huffy

American bike manufacturer

Huffy describes someone who is easily offended or quick to take offense, showing irritation through sulky or petulant behavior: She got huffy when I suggested her plan needed work.

The word implies a thin-skinned, somewhat childish reaction—being put out over minor slights.

Someone in a huffy mood radiates wounded pride and resentment.
