Ah, ok
curmudgeon (as in "oldster") n. : a crusty irascible cantankerous old
person full of stubborn ideas
Yes, but what about cantankerous?
cantankerous (as in "bloody-minded") adj. : (British) stubbornly
obstructive and unwilling to cooperate; "unions...have never been as
bloody-minded about demarcation as the shipbuilders"- Spectator
cantankerous (as in "cantankerous") adj. : having a difficult and
contrary disposition; "a cantankerous and venomous-tongued old lady"-
Dorothy Sayers
always tend to forget my Nisus Thesaurus... ;-)
