saltiest
Highest in sodium
Saltiest is the superlative form of salty, describing whatever has the most salt content among things being compared: The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth.
In contemporary slang, saltiest describes someone who is the most bitter, irritated, or resentful, often over something minor or a perceived slight: He was the saltiest player on the court after that bad call.
The slang sense suggests exaggerated or disproportionate annoyance.
