Hangry Should Be a Word

Quote of the Day"Cranky from hunger." —Washington Post food editor Joe Yonan

There's a thin line between being hangry and hulking out.

My friends and I use this word all the time!

How about "hunguish" (anguish from hunger)?

"Crunger" sounds better...

Hangry has been in our vocabulary for years!

yup, my friends started saying that years ago, and I picked it up from them.

My blog is called Hangry Pants!!!

+5 for Joe Yonan not coining that word. I've used it for a couple years now to describe my GF's hunger-induced mood swings.

Fugly should beade a word before Hangry.

I thought this was going to mean the specific hunger for greasy, carb-heavy things you feel when experiencing a hangover.

@karynMC: thtas what I was thinking too.

"Hangry" - When you cannot be bothered with ANYTHING until you've eaten! Clever addition to my mass-foodie personal dictionary.

Yeah hangry is old news. And it's absolutely perfect to describe girlfriends like me when my blood sugar drops too low.

I always say that I'm "slungry," which means sleepy AND hungry.

My husband always knows when I'm hangry -- I snap at him for no reason, he checks the clock then asks when the last time I ate was. Poor guy! This is why I have a desk drawer full of snacks -- no one else needs to know that I become "dizzy Hulk" from low blood sugar.

My family and I have always used "colicky" to mean hungry+cranky+a little light headed, though I've never heard anyone outside our family use it to refer to anyone but a baby.

my friends and i use the word hungrangry, similar though.
