Gurmp

Verb. (Hard 'g' sound, germp) 1. Gurmp describes the gait of someone who is grumpy. A hasty, stomping appearance to the stride that sometimes results in an unevenness that makes their walking seem inefficient. This inefficiency is often an unconscious choice that allows the person to avoid ruminating on their problems by giving them something to complain about i.e. pain caused by their walking unevenly. Variant 1. Gurmper, similar to gurmp but tends to encompass a scampering, scurrying haste in the manner of walking. As in being chased or needing to arrive somewhere in a hurry. Variant 2. Gurmple, Similar again but adds an element of scrambling. This would be used in a situation where the person is trying to gurmp in a small space (e.g. in a cave) and needs to be more nimble. n. Gurmper or Gurmpkin Some one who gurmps
