What about 'grumpy'?
:up: ... though when I saw the term 'grudgie' in the OP I wondered if they had misheard 'grouchy' - which is used in some informal situations (but, like 'grumpy', it isn't appropriate). I also wondered if they had coined 'grudgee' - wrong in so many ways!Sorry, Esgaleth, but grumpy doesn't come close.

I also wondered about "grudgee" but then realised that would be the person on the other end of the grudge. The person holding the grudge would be the "grudger" or "grudgor" surely!
But as you say, none of those words exist anyway.
