How to use "Piqued" in context?
There's something about the sound of a bristling pique that makes the blood in your veins boil. Whether the insult is delivered negligently or with malicious intent, the feeling is primal and undeniably satisfying. And that's why, when our pipes are truly punctured, we invariably reach for the nearest bottle of scotch.
But you don't have to be a disgruntled Scotsman to feel the pique in your veins. In fact, it's probably more common than you might think. Whether it's finding ourselves sifting through Twitter feed wreckage or simply reacting to everyday annoyances, there's a good chance that something has us bristling.
