Curmudgeonly, which perfectly describes me at times.

Casdon thank you for the reminder. My late husband always referred to his phizog. smile

Oh, I thought it was an alternative name for mumps!

Fizzog - haven't heard that for quite a while.

I’ve just a minute ago seen somebody say fizog (fizzog, phisog, not sure how you spell it) on another thread - a lovely word, I haven’t heard it for many years until then.

I smiled when I came across this great word today, which was described as meaning “someone who stubbornly sticks to their guns despite being incorrect”.
I think we might all know a mumpsimus or maybe several mumpsimuses.
Have we GN’ers any more fabulous words?
