angry-phone
n.— «That rarest of breeds in the largely French-speaking province, Mr. Galganov is a bilingual Quebecker who rallies for the rights of English speakers (Anglophones) and against secession from Canada. That makes him an “angry-phone” to moderates in both camps, who tag him a threat to cool compromise.» —“In Quebec’s Battle of Tongues, One Man Lashes Out at French-Only Rules, Secession” by Mark Clayton Christian Science Monitor (Boston, Massachusetts) Nov. 19, 1996. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
