Where do you draw the semantic line between "cross" and "angry"?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33173points) December 28th, 2011

Was discussing this with someone the other night. Her view was that ‘cross’ was a degree of intensity MORE than ‘angry’. My view was that they are essentially synonymous and that there was little if any difference in intensity.

Are you cross with me for asking this question?
Or are you angry with me?
