In the corridor people say cranky, in a bad mood, or hard to handle; you will meet fractiousness more in novels and news. Though actually, it is not only a flash of anger. It also covers being unwilling to be led — a fractious class, a fractious party — a whole that keeps breaking into little quarrels instead of staying calm together.
