His full name is Ethan Grinch
I 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.”
It’s his title, short for Exalted Grandiose Grinchimus Maximus de la Biblioteca.
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
it’s a nickname
It’s a personality.
It’s a lifestyle choice!
Like his decision not to wear pants?
Yes
Sorry, going to be that person https://www.etymonline.com/word/Grinch
Grinching wouold be a nice new slang term.
Really grinched it for the win
I loved the part of the book where the Grinch said “it’s Grinchin’ time!” and grinched all over the Whos.
Grinching – 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
All of the above.
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”.
Yes
‘Grinch’ is a holistic integration of multi-categorical nomenclatures.
Im going to use that on my friend who works in HR
Yes
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.
In Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), he was green since the day he
was borndrifted in on his pumbersella.I don’t buy it. Anything beyond 1966 is not canon in Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch-universe.
It’s a title, like village idiot.
or the village bicycle
Keep my wife’s name out of your goddamned mouth!
or the village rapist
Who are you and how did you get in here!?
Your name is Lizardman Lizardman?
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.
Well, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it’s your first, middle, and last name at the same time
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 business cards are just ridiculous.
Lizardman Lizardman, Lizardman
