Not an option. I just got the most wonderful book - The Superior 
Person's Book of Words, which has a brilliant selection of words and 
their definitions, with suggested usages of many of the words 
therein, and in so reading, I learned the following:
Curmudgeon, a noun, is defined as "Cantankerous codger. Bother 
curmudgeon and codger apply to men only, and htere appears to be no 
female equivalent. Perhaps grimalkin, an old she-cat or nasty old 
woman, comes closest to it; but it is not really synonymous."

btw - moving ONtopic - the book also defines GUDGEON and MUNDUNGUS. 
An excellent resource for names of people, places or shops in the
