biliously

In ill temper

In a manner suggesting bile or bad temper—irritably, peevishly, or with sour displeasure.

Someone who responds biliously reacts with visible ill humor: He biliously dismissed every suggestion.

The word can also describe physical queasiness, as if one's bile were stirred: She turned biliously green on the rough crossing.
