Rarked up is New Zealand slang for being angry, agitated, or worked up about something. If someone's rarked up, they've lost their cool and they're not hiding it. It's similar to 'riled up' or 'wound up' in other English varieties. Kiwis use it to describe everything from mild irritation to full-blown fury, and the 'up' part adds that sense of escalation — this isn't just a little annoyed, this is properly bothered.
He came home already rarked up from the commute and then found the kitchen a total mess — not a good night.
