The Picard ManeuverHopefully it's not a slur...

MimicJarYou’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
So likely his name, possibly only his last name.
konaltMaybe that’s meant in a derogatory way though
The entire song is derogatory. If you sing, “You’re a butthole, Mr. Stinky”, then you haven’t identified who you’re singing about, unless someone is actually named Mr. Stinky.

Well I’ll give you that one. I guess it’s possible the Grinch, having lived nearby for a while, earned that as his nickname or also know as. Still not his job or ethnicity.
(⬤ᴥ⬤)does this imply that the song wasn’t actually talking about the Grinch and he just projected onto it?
Yes, his first name is Ethan.
DandomRudeNot Elon?
Full name Chauncey Tiffany Grinch.
It’s a personality.
[deleted] in lemmyIt’s a lifestyle choice!
vaultdweller013Like his decision not to wear pants?
Sorry, going to be that person www.etymonline.com/word/Grinch
tacosanonymousGrinching wouold be a nice new slang term.
RiskableReally grinched it for the win
TheImpressiveXI loved the part of the book where the Grinch said “it’s Grinchin’ time!” and grinched all over the Whos.
TheTechnician27Grinching – the opposite of gooning.
“Yo fam you wanna go gooning later?”
“Nah I’m hard grinching rn fr fr”
Lil’ bro is skibidi grinching smh
It’s most likely either a species (like the sneetches) or, to my mind, a descriptor given to him by the narrator. Keep in mind no character (namely the grinch, who does speak) ever refers to himself as such. Sort of like if someone narrated your life and called you “the grouch”.

XanthraxYour name is Lizardman Lizardman?
PrefersAwkwardWell, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it’s your first, middle, and last name at the same time
The business cards are just ridiculous.
Lizardman Lizardman, Lizardman
I can get behind it being a first and last name simultaneously, but can it be a middle name if it’s not surrounded evenly on either side by another name.
I guess we could say it is equally surrounded by nothing and therefore in the middle. I’m overthinking!!
I see your point. It’s much weirder to say one thing is also the middle thing. It’s probably much safer to say you have a middle name only if you have an odd number of names greater than one. You safely (IMO) have two middle names if you have an even number of names greater than two.
The captions are off, originally it was, “Name, race, and occupation?” It was the only picture I could find, though.
Wait until you find out about the Mario brothers.
Who are you and how did you get in here!?

He’s not a who, he’s a what
Which is why
High in the sky
The Grinch didn't like Whoville very much
Every one was so-and-so, someone or such
MagicalusCan I ask what you use for the text formatting and colors? Ive seen this tool used a bunch on lemmy, and am quite curious.
felixwhynotLooks like code formatting, probably using backticks
I just manually indented the text four spaces for each line 🤷
‘Grinch’ is a holistic integration of heterogeneous nomenclatures.
gndagrebornIm going to use that on my friend who works in HR
K0W4L5K1It’s a title, like village idiot.
or the village bicycle
Keep my wife’s name out of your goddamned mouth!
or the village rapist

I can’t find a specific image of it, only a reddit post talking about it, but in Grinch (2018) he buys green hair dye. I interpret that to mean he is just a normal whoville resident, but dyed green. I suppose his green grinch hair could be graying and he wants to look young, or he could just be some other color and chooses to be green, but I like to imagine him as some crazy naked hermit that makes himself green and everyone else just puts up with it.
I don’t buy it. Anything beyond 1966 is not canon in Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch-universe.
In Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), he was green since the day he was born drifted in on his pumbersella.
2ugly2liveI thought it was a character trait. I assumed he had a “Who” name, but no one uses it because he was being a dick all the time so they called him “the Grinch.”
He’s Mr Grinch, so it’s at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It’s possible that it’s also his job (see “Smith”), but
prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge
Grinch is s state of mind
His full name is Ethan Grinch
The Grinch
I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming. The Grinch is the titular main protagonist from the book and television special, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and the anti-hero of its film adaptation of the same name as the 1966 special and book. He is the resident grouch of Whoville, living high above the Whos on Mount Crumpit with his dog Max, and usually spies on them. The Grinch is a Who-hater (except for the ending of the special, where he changes character completely). In contrast to
It’s his title, short for Exalted Grandiose Grinchimus Maximus de la Biblioteca.
