      Holy Moses this is a racist song!
      “Uhhh…just change that term to Grinch.”
      Hey, this would make a great Christmas cartoon!

    Grinch was the scientist, but the character commonly called “The Grinch” is really Grinch’s monster, created by Grinch.

      Or maybe he’s like the Hulk and turns back into a regular Who when he’s in a better mood?

    “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch” The clue is in the song.

      I mean, “You’re a mean one, Mr. Assface” still works despite being more of an insult than a proper name

      ‘The grinch had a heart that was three sizes too small.’ It gets ambiguous very quickly

          Mr The Grinch? I can see it. It would probably at least partly explain why he hated everyone too.

    It’s his name. You can see in the school flash back, when he’s still part of civilised society, that his nameplate says Grinch.

    But interestingly the book of Who says the term “Grinchy” should apply when Christmas spirit is in short supply.

    And we’re given the impression the book of who is an old foundational text. So it would appear the old ladies named him after the term Grinchy. So they’re really just assholes.

      So the ladies just named him the equivalent or Boaty McBoatface, but for his attitude. Lol. Grand-Karens.
