cine a vazut desenul animat cui pricina recunoaste expresia "I'm going to get you ornery critter..." personajul are palarie de cow-boy si mustati :)
iar ornery are aici sensul de "dat naibii"

morocănos ca un urs
Ar fi o variantă...
Boar racoon este un raton bătrân (mascul), vezi http://www.blufftontoday.com/node/10367
Eu aş propune varianta adaptată pentru limba română (în plus, ratonul se înrudeşte cu ursul :)).

eram supărat ca un mistreţ prost dispus
Nu e chiar o traducere fidelă, dar e o sugestie.

: vezi ce e cu mistretul mai sus, la unele specii "boar" si "buck" si "bull" se foloseste pt a desemna masculul chiar daca nu sunt mistret, cerb sau taur/ stud e de prasila , altfel poate fi si ornamental :):):)
