grimalkin gri·mal·kin [gri-mal-kin, -mawl-] noun
1. a cat.
2. an old female cat.
3. an ill-tempered old woman.
I wasn't familiar with this word which surprised me because I love cats. I'm not familiar with old female cats, either, because while I've had female cats hang around - and have a litter or two - they disappear after a while. I always hope they found good homes.
I AM familiar with ill-tempered old women, although I'd have to say ill-tempered old men are worse.
I should know.
