Curmudgeon: Anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner

No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.

Bernard Mandeville

It seems like we have a rivalry every week. CU hates us. BYU hates us. Air Force doesn't care for us and Wyoming really hates us. Every week, we're playing for some sort of trophy or plaque. That's what is unique about college football.

I was sent to the stands for kicking the ball at him in an aggressive manner and pointing to where Carlos Edwards was booked,

Mike Newell (1942-)

Facts that are not frankly faced have a habit of stabbing us in the back

What is more frightening than any particular policy or ideology is the widespread habit of disregarding facts.
