hmm. My American Heritage Dictionary says: [In reply to] Can't Post
An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions. Origin unknown.


And the Compact Oxford English Dictionary (which can be searched online) says:


curmudgeon

rmujn/

• noun a bad-tempered or surly person.
— DERIVATIVES curmudgeonly adjective.
— ORIGIN of unknown origin.


However, I agree that "cranky b***h works, too.

LOL

a.s.
"an seileachan"

Some say once you're gone, you're gone forever, and some say you're gonna come back.
Some say you'll rest in the arms of the Savior, if sinful ways you lack.
Some say that they're coming back in a garden: bunch of carrots and little sweet peas.
I think I'll just let the mystery be.
