What does HISSY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A sudden, dramatic fit of temper or anger, especially as used in the phrase "hissy fit".
Someone throws a hissy, or more fully a hissy fit, when they react to a minor frustration with exaggerated shouting, sulking, or stamping about. The word suggests theatrical, almost childish anger rather than serious rage, and it is often used with a touch of mockery. Although hissy can stand alone as a noun, it appears far more often paired with fit in casual speech.
