Origins of term 'stroppy'

Posted by Christian on July 29, 2003

I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on the term stroppy & it's history, I first heard it in college in 1983 but was recently watching an old Monty Python sketch where Mike Palin used it, but I had never heard it used before '83. Any help/
