: churlish (n.) adjective
: rude, unfriendly and unpleasant
: ex. Only a churlish person would call this town dull.
: ex. They invited me to dinner and I thought it would be churlish to refuse.
: The irony that no one who could KNOW the proper meaning of a word out of popular usage like "churlish" would act as "churlish" as churlish sort of seals the deal doesn't it?
: The one word the guy CAN spell is a word that wasn't used in casual conversation since, oh, London 1880.
: Seriously, whoever made up Churlish please take a bow.
: And then stop posting so much. It's gotten kinda overkilly, y'know?
