irritable
The phrase "ornery old cuss" refers to a person, typically an elderly man, who is irritable, stubborn, or difficult to deal with. "Ornery" suggests a cranky or cantankerous attitude, while "cuss" is a colloquial term for a person, often used in a somewhat affectionate or humorous way. Together, the phrase conveys a sense of endearment despite the person's grumpy demeanor.
The word "ornery" is an American dialectical variant of the ordinary word "ordinary", which goes back to Latin ordinarius, "orderly", from ordo, "order".
The word "ornery" is believed to have originated from the American Southern dialect, likely a variation of "ordinary." It was first recorded in the early 19th century and describes someone who is irritable, stubborn, or difficult to deal with. Its roots may also be connected to the term "ornery," which has ties to the Old English word "earne," meaning "to be disturbed or troubled." Over time, it has become a colloquial term primarily used in the U.S.
