The words are picked out were petulant and penny farthing
Straight away i knew what a penny farthing was - it is a bike which has one large wheel and the front and one small wheel at the back. It got its name from the coins - the penny and the farthing.
I had a vague idea of what petulant meant and it was that it meant grumpy and this was correct but researching the word alot of various words were related to it - sulky, cross, moody, sour, impatient, perverse, irritable and ratty - so basically i thought bad tempered all round.
