- 1不爽；被惹毛了（口語）
If you are peeved, you are — usually not in a huge, shouting way, but in a tight, irritated way. Something small has got under your skin: a rude comment, a late train, someone eating the last . People say I’m peeved, he looked peeved, that peeved me. It is informal, mainly spoken, and a little sitcom-cosy; American English uses it freely, and British English knows it too. Though actually, the feeling is closer to “niggled” than to “furious”. For a serious essay, or irritated is safer. Younger speakers often reach for pissed off instead; peeved can sound like a parent, a colleague, or a comedy. It is the -ed form of peeve, used as an adjective: the state you are in after something has peeved you.
組成peeve（惹毛）的 -ed 形式當形容詞用。peeve 這個動詞是後來才從較早的形容詞 peevish 倒過來造的。
