Spitting Feathers? What do you think it means?

[erikbloodaxe]

I was just reading an article where someone used 'Spitting feathers' to mean they were angry. Now I've only ever used the term/ heard the term in meaning I'm thirsty.

I'm in my 50's and now wonder when/if the meaning changed.

What does it mean to you, Angry or Thirsty and how old are you?

Thirsty. And Jim Royal did say to Barb on The Royal Family 'Stick the kettle on Barb, I'm spitting feathers here'

Thirsty, west country

Well that's decided then!
