Smellfungus means a person who complains and bickers to everyone about meaningless matters, who is a hypocritical and habitual, captious critic or faultfinder. A disagreeable curmudgeon who finds fault in everything, who loves misery and sharing it with others. This was all created after Smelfungus, a hypercritical character in Laurence Sterne's 1768 novel, A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy. Earliest documented use: 1807.
