Bon mots: obstreperous

ob-strep-er-ous (uh b STREP ur uh s)

1. resisting control or restraint in a difficult manner; unruly.
2. refusing to do a task simply because someone asked one to do it.

"My newly-teenage son is so obstreperous that if I asked him to breathe, he'd suffocate just to spite me. And then he'd blame me."

Seriously. What a jerk.
