n.

An ungrateful person.

[From Middle English ingrat, ungrateful, from Old French, from Latin ingrātus : in-, not; see in–¹ + grātus, pleasing, thankful.]

A cynical view of the world by Ambrose Bierce

n.

One who receives a benefit from another, or is otherwise an object of charity.

    "All men are ingrates," sneered the cynic.  "Nay,"
        The good philanthropist replied;
    "I did great service to a man one day
    Who never since has cursed me to repay,
                Nor vilified."
    
    "Ho!" cried the cynic, "lead me to him straight --
        With veneration I am overcome,
    And fain would have his blessing."  "Sad your fate --
    He cannot bless you, for AI grieve to state
                This man is dumb."
                                                            Ariel Selp
