truculent

1) The unpleasant feeling of a truck approaching. Might entail premonitions of one's death/ sudden awareness of one's own mortality.

2) Easily annoyed and always ready to argue or fight. Frequent usage in intellectual/ pretentiously articulate contexts.

1) John truculently crossed the street the day his beloved pet hamster had died.

2) 'Cindy is the most truculent person I know!', John said, still grieving for his hamster.
