Spitting Feathers became a popular phrase in British Slang in the nineties and these days often turns up in newspapers and books.

There is some confusion over the exact definition whether meaning to be very thirsty or very angry. To me the expression "I’m so thirsty, I’m Spitting Feathers” is a wonderful description of someone who is parched and dying for a drink

Another suggestion is the phrase may have arisen when someone is so angry that they’re foaming at the mouth, spitting flecks, which might be compared to feathers. However it’s improbable that two identical expressions arose with such different meanings and perhaps those who took it to mean extreme anger made a false association with Spitting Blood?

It just seemed to me to be a great name for an Après Ski Bar and the following can often be heard in our establishment ;

 

“A Beer please Sweetheart, I’m Spitting Feathers!”
