Ill-tempered (6)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">ill-tempered</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that ill-tempered can be written as grumpy)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for grumpy that I've seen before include "animated little miner" , "One of Snow White's Famous Seven" , "likely to snap?" , "Gloomy and irritable like sour old man" , "Annoyed and irritable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times, The Times, The Sun and The Guardian.
