black mood
Foul mental state
A black mood is a state of deep gloom, anger, or depression.
The phrase suggests something darker and more intense than ordinary bad temper—a brooding, potentially dangerous emotional state: He's been in a black mood since he got the news.
Someone in a black mood is best left alone until it passes.
