bitchy
Spitefully sharp-tongued
Bitchy describes behavior that is spiteful, petty, or snappish: She gets bitchy when she's tired.
The word implies mean-spirited sharpness rather than outright hostility—gossip, snark, social manipulation.
Though applied more often to women, men get called bitchy too.
