Definition

British slang for someone being sulky, grumpy, or whiny like a petulant child who didn't get their way. It's the perfect word for describing that coworker who pouts all day because they had to come in on a Monday. Commonly used in Northern England to call out someone's bad mood without being too harsh about it.

Example Usage

Don't be so mardy just because we're out of your favorite cereal—there's plenty of other options.
