I am in a chat-community where in a room called "manga and anime" we have a background image, where you can see those two kanji. Google translates it as anger, offense, however i don't see the reasoning for something like this to be in the background.

I have uploaded a screenshot from our chatchannel-background:

Those are the correct kanji, right? What is the meaning of those two kanji if they are not used in any context, if they just stand on their own?

    Well, the girl on the pic appears to be annoyed so maybe it's fitting...

  • On a related note, you can make a verb out of it by "switching" the kanji: 腹（が）立つ and 腹（を）立てる. Although if you leave out the particle, you must rendaku the 立, so the first syllable becomes ダ.

  • (Additional Information) We generally use not 立腹 but ご立腹.

The kanji means anger, and the expression of the girl's face is expressing anger toward her dog for not moving. So it's quite fit.

立腹 is a noun meaning "getting angry." You can verbalize it by saying "立腹する." A more colloquial form of 立腹する is 腹を立てる. Perhaps 立腹 came from 腹を立てる. I can't tell which one of a boy and dog got angry from the cartoon.
