get the pip

To be annoyed or unhappy. Although "the pip" is an avian disease, it came to be used to describe minor human maladies. A: "Don't tell me you're getting the pip at your new job already." B: "Of course I am—all they let me do is make copies and send faxes!" Don't get the pip about it, OK? I didn't intentionally exclude you, it was just an oversight. That guy's just a miserable person. He could be lounging on a beautiful beach, and he'd still get the pip!
