curmudgeon

“someone who is irritable or stubborn” …  “a killjoy”

i love this word.  one of my favorites. 

i use it frequently to describe a male co-worker, who makes me laugh.  he is always frowning and rather snarky and i don’t know him very well, but i think he’s kind of adorable.  i’m sure in twenty years he’s going to be like the grumpy old man on “UP”…
