stabby
Ready to pierce
Stabby describes a mood of irritable aggression—the urge to stab something, though not literally.
It's informal slang for feeling hostile or on edge: I haven't had my coffee yet and I'm feeling stabby.
The word can also describe something that pokes or jabs: a stabby cactus, stabby heels on hardwood floors.
