bia asked,
PS: I heard through the grapevine from a source I consider 'reputable' -- he's one of the regulars in the Porch corral -- that there
is some 'secret-handshake/blood- brother'-style other meaning of the term, 'curmudgeon.' That you don't widely publicize.

Any truth to this?

and you responded,
THIS IS TRUE. If you can spend one week here without annoying anyone, you will be provided with the secret meaning.

but, handshake? I thought this was discussed already...

First, you notice that she asked if their was a "secret handshake style meaning" of the term. Of course there is no secret handshake, as I so eloquently explained in the earlier post.

As for the secret meaning of the term, I was just humoring her. We don't need any f@cking secret meaning.
