January 29 – National Curmudgeons Day

Posted on January 29, 2014



I find it hard to believe that people want to celebrate grumpiness—but, let's face it, sometimes we all feel a bit down. And maybe being cranky is common for many in the month of January, what with the days being so short and dark and all.

Instead of celebrating grumpiness, per se, I'd like to celebrate the words we use to talk about the feeling. 

The best of all, of course, are curmudgeon and curmudgeonly and curmudgeonliness!


Here are some more words I like. You might be a curmudgeon if you are often...

grouchy
cranky
whiny
crusty
ornery
crabby
cross
fractious
irritable
vinegary
waspish
testy
peevish
surly

and of course, the second best word in the bunch:

cantankerous!

Aren't those some super great words?


Here are some ways to enjoy curmudgeons today:
