   I just learned about the German word “Morgenmuffel” and I love it.

   It describes someone who is grumpy in the mornings.

   Not that I know someone like that. 😇

     @mahryekuh I love this. I wonder if there's a German expression for an all day muffel?

     @baconandcoconut You'll find this a little difficult to pronounce but Viennese has "Grantscheabm" (literally "shard of grouch").

     There is also the less localised "Griesgram".

     @xahteiwi @mahryekuh Maybe he's a little meaner in Dutch? 😆

     @baconandcoconut That would be Oskar der Griesgram. @mahryekuh

     It's "Oscar Mopperkont" in Dutch.
