put-out
Feeling slightly offended
Put-out functions as both noun and adjective.
In baseball, a put-out is a play that retires a batter or runner, credited to the fielder who completes the out.
As an adjective, put-out describes someone who feels annoyed, inconvenienced, or offended: She seemed put-out that we hadn't called ahead.
