Hot-headed

describes someone who loses their temper quickly and reacts without thinking.

Examples:

1- My manager is hot-headed—he often shouts before hearing the full story.
2- Teenagers can sometimes be hot-headed, especially when they feel misunderstood.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast! Today’s word is “hot-headed.”

Picture this: You’re waiting in line at a coffee shop. Someone accidentally bumps into a man ahead of you, spilling a few drops of coffee on his jacket. Instead of brushing it off, he yells, slams his cup down, and storms out angrily. That’s being hot-headed.

So, what does it mean? Hot-headed describes someone who loses their temper quickly and reacts without thinking.

Here are a few examples: My manager is hot-headed—he often shouts before hearing the full story.
The actor’s hot-headed behavior on set made the headlines.
Teenagers can sometimes be hot-headed, especially when they feel misunderstood.

And now, a question for you:
💡 Do you know someone who’s hot-headed? How do you usually deal with them when they get upset?
