In "Jabberwocky," the word "uffish" is used to describe the demeanor or expression of the character. It suggests a sense of irritability, impatience, or grumpiness.
"Uffish" is an adjective in Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," which means being in a bad temper or annoyed.
Lewis Carroll offered a definiton for 'uffish thought' in a letter he wrote in 1877:"I did make an explanations once for 'uffish thought'! It seemed to suggest a state of mind when the voice is gruffish, the manner roughish, and the temper huffish."
Uffish doesn't exist - in my dictionary
The word "uffish" is a portmanteau, combining elements of "uff" and "fish." It was coined by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark," where it describes a peculiar and somewhat grumpy state of being. The term evokes a sense of whimsical frustration or annoyance, characteristic of Carroll's playful language.
In the phrase it most famously appears in (and as in uffish thought he stood) it appears to be an adjective. Carroll explains it as "a state of mind in which the voice is gruffish, the manner roughish, and the temper huffish," which suggests that it means something along the lines of "grumpy" ... which is usually an adjective itself (it can also be capitalized and used as a proper noun, as can Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Dopey).
When Lewis Carrol wrote Jabberwocky, he employed a number of words which he made up himself. Some of these were what he called "portmanteau words" which contain parts of two words and combine their meanings. In Jabberwocky the verse in question goes And as in uffish thought he stood The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame Came whiffling through the tulgey wood And burbled as it came. "Tulgey" might be a portmanteau of turgid and bulgy. Or it might be just nonsense.
