Insult #24: You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch. With a nauseous super naus

I don’t think “naus” is a real word. I’m guessing it’s just being used to give emphasis to how nauseating the Grinch is. Kind of like if you use a capital letter to emphasize an adjective, such as, “Mr. Grinch is Stinky with a capital ‘S.’”

Based on Mr. Grinch being compared to both a bad banana with a greasy black peel, and a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, I’m guessing he smells straight up terrible. I don’t know how all those Whos didn’t wake up while Mr. Grinch was stinking up their entire Who-house with his grinch funk. Since Mr. Grinch doesn’t just nauseate, he nauseates with a super naus, I’m guessing if it’s that bad, people may get sick from time to time around the Grinch. If the situation is bad enough, some of the vomit might get in the Grinch’s fur to add to the funk. That’s probably why the Whos make him live in that snowy mountain and his only friend is an overly loyal dog.

I think I may have taken this insult down a disgusting path. Let’s just say this insult works because no one wants to be so gross that they give other people super nausea.

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” came on television today. While I did not find any signs of Tony the tiger’s presence, I did notice three things about that movie that I either forgot or never noticed.


  1. The Grinch wanted to ruin Christmas because he didn’t want to hear a bunch of noise on Christmas day. I can dig it. Those Whos were loud and they had weird looking instruments. Maybe I would’ve wanted to steal Christmas too.
  2. The Grinch stole the Who’s Christmas with such flare and leisure. He used a giant magnet to withdraw the nails that held the Christmas stockings in place. He took the time to wind up toys so they would march into his bag. How could he afford to be so leisurely? How long do Whos normally sleep?
  3. There’s just something about that movie that makes me get excited about Christmas. Maybe it has something to do with the Grinch catching the Christmas spirit and gaining the strength of ten grinches, plus two.
