grumpy

grumpy adjective he can be quite grumpy in the morning: bad-tempered, crabby, ill-tempered, short-tempered, crotchety, tetchy, testy, waspish, prickly, touchy, irritable, irascible, crusty, cantankerous, curmudgeonly, bearish, surly, ill-natured, churlish, ill-humored, peevish, pettish, cross, fractious, disagreeable, snappish; informal grouchy, snappy, cranky, shirty, ornery. ANTONYMS good-humored. WORD NOTE grumpy This word is overused, especially when there are so many other, more evocative synonyms. Try tetchy for the kind of grumpy that's quick to take offense; churlish for the grumpiness born of entitlement (think of the overpaid cell-phone yapper cutting you off ), peevish for the complaining, fault-finding grumpiness of the vague and wavering old man; fractious for the grumpiness of the unpleasable overtired child; pettish for the grumpiness of the spoiled beauty; waspish for the snappish, tightlipped grumpiness of the thin and elderly spinster; and shirty for the insolent grumpiness of the person who knows he's being thwarted and doesn't much like it. — EM Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
