Today's phrase - to be cross with someone
Hi!
I try to learn new English phrases on and off.
And I've done over 1800 phrases so far.
One of the phrases I've learnt is <em>"to be cross with someone"</em>
Here are examples I've written myself:
When she is cross with me she gives me the cold shoulder.
If you cross with people often you're heading for a trouble.
Does a native speaker say it like that?
Is it a casual speech?
Thank you.
PS it's an idiom, probably British

The first phrase is a fairly common phrase in the UK. Can be used instead of the word "angry" or "irritated" I guess.
I feel cross today.
He is cross, that's why he's so quiet.
She is cross with her son because he didn't eat all of his breakfast.

To be cross means upset or angry at someone.
first sentence is good..
most of of the time we use the word upset.
