hot-blooded
Quick to anger
Hot-blooded describes someone who is passionate, excitable, or quick to strong emotion—especially anger or sexual desire.
A hot-blooded response comes from impulse rather than calculation.
The term often carries connotations of youth, vitality, and intensity: He was a hot-blooded young man who couldn't walk away from a fight.
In biology, hot-blooded (or warm-blooded) describes animals like mammals and birds that maintain constant internal body temperature regardless of their environment.
