huff
Fit of pique
Huff captures the idea of a sharp, forceful breath—blown out in annoyance or exertion.
Someone in a huff is sulking or offended: She left in a huff when no one agreed with her.
To huff is to breathe heavily or to sniff substances for intoxication: huffing paint fumes.
The phrase huff and puff means to breathe laboriously or to bluster without effect.
