nounangryphone (plural angryphones)
plural angryphones
- CanadainformalAn English-speaking resident of Quebec who demonstrates systematic anger or aggression towards the French language or against the actions of Quebecois nationalists, or who is a peevish complainer.
Such sayings run counter to a certain character who loiters in the Montreal imaginary of stereotypes: the whining 'angryphone,' the anglophone Montrealer ever dissatisfied with his or her lot in Quebec.
2000, Martha Radice, Feeling Comfortable? The Urban Experience of Anglo-Montrealers, page 88
