Salty Life Quotes & Sayings – For A Laugh
What does it mean to be ‘salty’?
Being ‘salty’ means to be cynical, irritated, angry, bitter or grumpy.
It can be a quick change in demeanour, as a result of something that happened, or because they feel short-changed. Though some people may be described as salty all the time 😊
When people are said to be acting ‘salty’, they are often being negative or pessimistic about life in general.
It can also be quite funny – or maybe that’s just my humor? But ‘salty’ as a slang word is kind of a wry slant on grumpy and agitated and normally means no harm.
