IndiaAmos commented on the word igry
From Francis Heaney's blog, Heaneyland! (http://www.yarnivore.com/francis/archives/000123.html): '"Igry" basically means "painfully embarrassed for or uncomfortable about someone else's incredibly poor social behavior, or descriptive of such poor social behavior". Like, say you're at a restaurant, and one of the people at your table summons the waiter by snapping their fingers. Watching this makes you die a little inside. You feel igry. (Or you might think, "What an igry thing to do.") The noun form is "igriness".'
