“Cross” in the phrase “be cross” means “annoyed.” It seems that “to be cross with” is a set phrase, and the meaning of this phrase can be understood by the words included in it. In a narrow sense, it is not a phrasal verb.
“Cross” is an adjective. It means “a little bit angry”, and “cross” and “angry” are not completely interchangeable.
“I was cross when the train was late and I missed an important meeting.”
The above sentence is from the lesson Dariomarins refers to.
Everyone does not get angry when the train is late.
