Yet more Leasnam Anglish. Can't we stop him, after so many years of this? This time: "(transitive) To grumble about". Yet the citations are "so dead set on your begrumbled frog" (where it seems to be an adjective meaning "damned, accursed, bloody"), and "the begrumbled human face looked at the kind old lady..." which doesn't sound like a face being complained about.

- The best I could find was a quote on Redditt: A few class traitors, mainly elderly, begrumble the monarchy being gone, cite the usual crap about tourists coming to see them etc.. It is definitely plausible, but hard to search for. Kiwima (talk) 02:01, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- "Yet more Leasnam Anglish", btw, grumble is not Anglo-Saxon, it's French. Leasnam (talk) 13:56, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
