mard

spoiled, sulky, sullen. Having a tantrum, being difficult.

Was widely used in the Manchester area.
Always assumed it's a corruption of "marred" (or "mar'd" or "marr'd" as Shakespeare wrote it). See also mardy, mardarse and mardy-pants. Compare with nesh.

Don't be so mard, our Bill- just eat it.

He's being a bit mard today.
