Usage Note
Cabreado is a colloquial adjective (past participle of cabrear) meaning angry or irritated, and is firmly informal — avoid it in formal writing or polite company. The masculine form is cabreado, the feminine cabreada. The root cabra (goat) underlies the verb, suggesting the wild, unpredictable temperament attributed to goats. Synonyms in more neutral registers include enfadado (Spain) or enojado (Latin America).
