Word of the Day-Crotchety

Someone who is crotchety (KROCH-ih-tee) is cranky, bad-tempered, or capriciously stubborn. The word is derived from "crotchet," which once meant a fancy or whim.

Example: "There is nothing worse than going into a meeting tired and crotchety. I would rather not go at all."
