Peevish [adj]. Easily irritated by unimportant things.

Press [n]. A forceful enlistment of men.
We produce a few publications each year with limited distribution, mostly online. We're interested in humorous short works, good ones. Currently we have only two titles, but we plan to add more until the day that our status as a press is less "a forceful enlistment of men" and more of "a device for applying pressure to something in order to flatten or shape it or to extract juice or oil."
