  What it means

  Literally “to have flies in one’s nose.” Means to be grumpy, irritable, or touchy — in a bad mood for no obvious reason.

  Vocabulary

  • mieć — to have
  • muchy — flies (plural)
  • nos — nose

  Grammar note

  'W nosie' uses the locative of 'nos' after 'w' (in). 'Muchy' is accusative plural of 'mucha' — the direct object of 'mieć'.
