petulant

       petulant (adj.) – irritable; impatient

for your edification:  This little beauty goes hand in hand with another scandalous SAT word you know and love:  succulent.  “Succulent” and “petulant” are SAT verbal partners in crime because they both sound like actions that your slootier friends* would demonstrate.  This time, our word is “petulant.”  Say it with me:  “pet you lent.”   Here’s how you’ll remember this one.   Have you ever heard about young members of the male species growing irritable or impatient if they are not receiving any, ahem, petting?  Like, some guy will get all cranky because his girlfriend (demonstrating outstanding rectitude!) isn’t lending any pets to him in the backseat of his Mitsubishi Gallant?  (Not a pet like a gerbil or puppy; you know – petting - of the heavy or moderately heavy variety! ) Well, that’s how you can remember petulant. It’s silly to grow petulant because you are not being lent any pets.  Go read a book or something instead of receiving (or lending) pets, for heaven sakes!

* you know who aren’t sloots who possess loose morals?  People displaying rectitude.  Make your mothers proud:   keep the sucking and petting to a minimum, all right?

examplification  - Dirk:  Come on, Patty.  Remember that pet you lent me that night after the big game?  It’s been forty-six days since then, and I’m starting to get really impatient waiting for you to decide it’s okay to skank it up a little bit again. 

Patty:  Don’t be so petulant, Dirk.  And, frankly, blame yourself.  That weird bump you had on your ween grossed me out.  I’m not about to risk petting anything like that again anytime soon.
