out-of-sorts
Not quite right
Out-of-sorts describes feeling mildly unwell or irritable—not seriously ill, but not quite right either: I've been out-of-sorts all morning.
The phrase suggests a temporary state of physical discomfort or emotional grumpiness without a clear cause.
Someone out-of-sorts might be tired, slightly sick, or just in a bad mood.
