Meaning of "hissy"
Hi,
The writing below is from a book. Will you tell me what hissy means? I couldn't find it in my dictionaries.
The effect produced a sound not unlike that of a tire releasing air. It was awkward and strange-sounding, and elicited much more attention than the original lisp. I failed to se the hissy s as a solution.
Thank you,
M
