Grinchy


Grinchy: adjective. Having a characteristic typical of the infamous Dr Seuss character, the Grinch. A person described as grinchy may, however, not be evil, greedy, coarse, bitter and irritable. In fact, when one is described as grinchy, they may just be green, small-hearted or dressed in a Santa costume. Therefore, Santa Claus (who is better known in the world of lawyers as Santa Clause) might legitimately be called grinchy.
