English term or phrase: bouncy
Wisdom.
2 Corinthians 6:3 says, “We put no stumbling-block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited." Stumbling-blocks are not always grave sins in Christians and preachers, but they are anything that puts people off. Our manner matters. Not only the way we live but the way we speak of Christ can put people off. Even small things speak loudly to people in a congregation listening to us. But anywhere, people are easily put off if we are bombastic, egotistic, ***bouncy***, hostile, critical, arrogant, and pompous. People want God, If you lack anointing, a noise won't do.

neutral  Beatriz Ramírez de Haro: Estamos hablando de un defecto que produce rechazo en el prójimo. No creo que ser animoso o enérgico sea tan negativo.
