Awful Curmudgeon I am!

I used the word the other day, to which my daughter asked - "What in heavens name is a curmudgeon?" I told her to look it up in the dictionary because just telling her, would be my interpretation of the world and not the word in its entirety! But for those that are thinking along her same line of thought . . . this morning with the ERROR code on the myLot site, horrid cold weather, aftermath of some awful bowling this week-end, an awful pinch in the back . . . . this has all turned me into an awful curmudgeon! "noun a bad-tempered or surly person. synonyms: bad-tempered person; crank; informalcrosspatch, sourpuss, old trout; informala bear with a sore head; informalkvetch, sorehead" How is your Monday doing so far? any light on the Error on Photograph uploads yet @GoAsk@Alice ?

I often use the word to describe myself. Strangely enough nobody ever contradicts me!!!

they might not know what you are talking about, I am surprised how many people didn't know the word

I pride myself in having a good vocabulary, but have not heard that word before.

@Inlemay I have no use for the word and and quite content being a grumpy old sod.

You havent? Where have you been all these years? Its a fabulous word and I use it often when I am in the curmudgeon mood like today - weather does this to me

Well, now I know what a curmudgoen is! I'm sorry circumstances have turned you into one. I hope soon you're the exact opposite, whatever that may be!

I took some time to check my thesaurus to see what the opposite of ME as a curmudgeon is, and there is nothing listed, so that mood must be at the bottom of the pit - only upwards I can go

I have only been up about an hour this morning but so far my Monday is going good. I wonder what is happening with the error with the photos, I haven't tried to upload any photos yet today so guess I will forget doing that for now.

Curmudgeon Inlemay? That looks like an oxymoron to me. It's a rainy Monday, looks like tennis this evening is going to be cancelled.

It is hard to believe, but I can occasionally be a curmudgeon as well.

Hard to believe is a good way to put it, but sometimes we cannot always hold that SUNNY SIDE UP

I am sure you are not a curmudgeon at all! One radio show host used that word a lot or I may have never heard it either.

It was a very long time a go when I felt I was a curmudgoen. I hope I will not be anymore as it hurts my stomach every time I am in bad temper.
