In its slang sense, a spicebox is someone with a hot temper — a person who flares up quickly and brings plenty of heat to any argument or situation. The term draws on the literal image of a box packed with fiery spices and applies it to a feisty, sharp-tongued individual. It can be affectionate or cautionary depending on delivery: calling someone a spicebox might be a compliment to their passion or a gentle warning to others.

Don't let her quiet voice fool you — she's an absolute spicebox once you get on her bad side.
