Curmudgeon of the North

2005 July 27

What is a curmudgeon? 

From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
    One entry found for curmudgeon.
        Main Entry:  cur·mud·geon
        Pronunciation:  (")k&r-'m&-j&n
        Function:  noun
        Etymology: origin unknown   
            1 archaic : MISER
            2 : a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man
        - cur·mud·geon·li·ness  /-lE-n&s/ noun
        - cur·mud·geon·ly  /-lE/ adjective

Merriam-Webster also provides a link to the Top 10 Search Results for "curmudgeon".  In spite of being crusty and ill-tempered old men, curmudgeons enjoy life and their right to be crusty and ill-tempered when the opportunities arise.  That is most of the time!  I plead guilty.
