Easily irritated, especially from being tired and especially in reference to a child (or at least someone who's patronized). One tends to be cranky at night (before needed sleep), while crabby soon after waking up.

Mother: Oh, looks like somebody's cranky! Someone needs to go to bed.

Cranky
when a person drinks a shitload of alcoholic beverages and acts stupid and grumpy to such an extent that it becomes so much irritating that you really want to kick his ass then the person who drunk that shitload of alcoholic beverage is termed cranky.

Cranky
If a situation is cranky, it is uncomfortable and you wish you could avoid it. It is most likely going to be a painful experience for your soul.
When, in the act of copulation, the man ejaculates into his partner's eye and then kicks him/her in the shin, causing him/her to squint and hop around on one leg saying, "Yarrr!"
This chick I was banging said she wasn't on birth control and that I had to pull out...so I gave her a cranky pirate and left.
