Scroogesque
形容詞
Scroogesque (comparative more Scroogesque, superlative most Scroogesque)
- Resembling or characteristic of Ebenezer Scrooge; bad-tempered, selfish and miserly.
- 1996 December 10, Dolores Tropiano, “Putting Heart in the Holidays: Generous deeds bring out true meaning of the season”, in The Arizona Republic, 107th year, number 206, Phoenix, Ariz., page C1:
- Gardner suggests the perfect gift for the person in your life who has it all — nothing! It’s not as Scroogesque as it sounds. She recommends giving a gift from her Global Gift Guide instead. Such gifts might include clothing and shelter for a homeless child in Vietnam for $35 a month or dental exams for children in Cambodia.
- 1998 October 29, Mike Stanger, “Happy event hurt by image of bikers as bad guys”, in The Vancouver Sun, page A18:
- I’ve owned and ridden a motorcycle for three years, and on Sunday morning I took part in the 20th annual Vancouver Toy Run for the third time. It is a great event that provides a little bit of joy not only for the participants, but also for the thousands of Lower Mainland children who are recipients of the donated toys. I’m saddened by Burnaby’s Scroogesque attitude to the Toy Run, as are many others (‘Families disadvantaged’ by disappointing run, Oct. 26).
- 1998 November 22, The Observer, page 44:
- Of course, I love giving gifts, because I’m a loving and giving sorta girl. But not that loving and giving, because I’ll only do it on my terms, which unfortunately also means that I don’t like giving gifts when you’re meant to give them. So I am rubbish at birthdays and only slightly better at Christmas (かつ then only because I like expensive, glitzily-themed wrapping concepts). The problem is, I worry so extraordinarily about getting it right that, forever teetering on the brink of extravagant impulse buys and Scroogesque denial, I sometimes don’t get it at all rather than get it remotely wrong.
- 2003, Anthony Fowles, John Dryden: A Critical Study, Greenwich Exchange, page 92:
