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:

October 15, 2012 - National Grouch Day

According to Sesame Street Magazine, today is National Grouch Day, a day for all Grouchies to celebrate their way of life.

Apparently, Grouchies often act happy when other people are having misfortunes (or even when they, themselves, are having misfortunes!). But of course, they can never be happy, so they just seem to be enjoying troubles!

(Or is it that they can never admit to being happy?)
