Idiom: mit dem linken Bein zuerst aufgestanden sein
Explanation: Be in a bad mood, literally 'have got out of bed left leg first'. The origins of this expression lie in the old superstition that the left side is the unlucky side. If you start the day on the wrong side, everything will go wrong.
Examples: Warum bist du denn heute morgen so kurz angebunden? Bist du mit dem linken Bein zuerst aufgestanden?
Du solltest ihn besser nicht ansprechen, denn er hat schlechte Laune. Wahrscheinlich ist er mit dem linken Bein zuerst aufgestanden.
Sense: have got out of bed on the wrong side
