Hi,
I don't have the exact word in English..., but it means:
Someone who is "prompt" at being angry....
Who gets angry easily...
I'd like to know the exact English word too....
Hope this helps.......
PS: Susceptible... is someone who gets hurt easily.... This is not the same..... and we use "susceptible" also in French in such case....
Soupe au lait is someone who would jump screaming back in no time.... and react badly at any little negative comment...
The net translator is wrong....lol...

To be "soupe au lait" is a French expression meaning to be "hot-tempered". Basically used for someone who gets mad easily.

Here to get 2 points again:
The expression in English is: "to fly off the handle easily"
I don't know if it's a common expression, though. But, basically, it means that this person gets angry very fast. It's being touchy + overreacting, maybe.
