I keep on seeing this when the topic is about NaruSaku something.

Salty= Pissed off, the other meaning would be easy to figure out.

Adding salt to the wound is adding insult to injury, or just doing anything to increase a wound or pain

Means Bad luck. But i guess is also way of referring to someone mad or pissed off.

Salty is similar to bitter. It just means you're irritated, aka butthurt.

Salt on the wound is the same as insult to injury. If you put salt on a wound, the pain increases, hence the term.

Salty=Something didn't turn out or go the way you wanted and you're butthurt about it.
throwing salt=1) adding insult to someone who is already butthurt, 2) intentionally manipulating a situation so someone doesn't achieve their desired goals.
