Why, this it is to be a peevish girl,
That flies her fortune when it follows her.
Thurio
The Two Gentlemen of Verona Act V Scene ii, Line 49
Apparently Sylvia (the peevish girl) has fled to go after Valentine. Thurio is sweet on Sylvia and considers himself the fortune that Sylvia flies from.
But what about peevish. It means fretful, irritable, or ill-tempered. It’s a modern word that we don’t hear much, but one that we should be familiar with. Peevish: I guess we can all be peevish from time to time.
Anyway, as far as Thurio is concerned, Sylvia is ill-tempered because she won’t realize what a catch he would be for her. He sounds a bit full of himself, eh? And what kind of name is Thurio anyway? Sylvia’s probably better off without him.
You wanna see peevish? I'll show you peevish if this guy doesn't get off his butt in the next ten seconds to take me out to go potty!
I haven't peed in five and a half hours; getting very peevish!
