Yang Li: It's broken.

Diarmuid: Really? That's annoying, you only bought it yesterday.

Diarmuid: Sounds like you’ve got the hump.

Yang Li: Tell me about it. 今天我们要学的新词语是 to get the hump 意思是让人窝火的。 Hump 原意是骆驼脊背上的驼峰， 不过我们不清楚这个短语究竟和骆驼有什么关系。

Examples

B: Mike? He’s still in his room in a bad mood. He’s had the hump all morning.

A: I really don’t think that dress suits you.
