Possibly fire youth leader with short temper (5)

I believe the answer is:

fiery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'short temper' is the definition.
'fiery' can be an answer for 'temper' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'short' bit.

'possibly fire youth leader' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'youth leader' becomes 'y' (I've seen this in other clues).
'fire' with letters rearranged gives 'fier'.
'fier'+'y'='FIERY'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fiery that I've seen before include "Easily angered" , "Choleric" , "Quick-tempered" , "Ardent" , "Hot-tempered, passionate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
