I know that 'bull' relates to this answer.

'irritable bull coming over?' is the wordplay.
'irritable' becomes 'sore' (sore can mean annoyed or irritated).
'bull' becomes 'rot' (synonyms).
'coming over?' says the letters should be written backwards.
'sore'+'rot'='sorerot'
'sorerot' back-to-front is 'TOREROS'.
