An archaic slang phrase meaning to be in a bad mood — angry, sullen, or just generally difficult to deal with. The 'hump' here is a figurative lump of irritability you're carrying around. Think of it as the Victorian version of 'woke up on the wrong side of the bed.' Rarely used today, but it has a satisfying bluntness to it.
