/Sounds like 'MAH-lah OS-tyah'/
A very bad mood combined with a hostile, aggressive attitude. In Spain, mala ostia is one step beyond bad temper — someone with mala ostia is looking for confrontation, ready to snap, and you'd be wise to keep your distance.
"Hoy tiene una mala ostia que no hay quien le hable."
"Le dije que no con mala ostia y se fue ofendido. → He's in such a foul mood today that nobody can talk to him."
"I told him no with an attitude and he left offended."
