Yes
He’s not a who, he’s a what
Which is why High in the sky The Grinch didn't like Whoville very much Every one was so-and-so, someone or suchdeleted by creator
Looks like code formatting, probably using backticks
I just manually indented the text four spaces for each line 🤷
It’s his title, short for Exalted Grandiose Grinchimus Maximus de la Biblioteca.
He’s Mr Grinch, so it’s at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It’s possible that it’s also his job (see “Smith”), but prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge
His full name is Ethan Grinch
Grinch is s state of mind
I thought it was a character trait. I assumed he had a “Who” name, but no one uses it because he was being a dick all the time so they called him “the Grinch.”
it’s a nickname
‘Grinch’ is a holistic integration of multicategorical nomenclatures.
Im going to use that on my friend who works in HR
I can’t find a specific image of it, only a reddit post talking about it, but in Grinch (2018) he buys green hair dye. I interpret that to mean he is just a normal whoville resident, but dyed green. I suppose his green grinch hair could be graying and he wants to look young, or he could just be some other color and chooses to be green, but I like to imagine him as some crazy naked hermit that makes himself green and everyone else just puts up with it.
In Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), he was green since the day he
was borndrifted in on his pumbersella.I don’t buy it. Anything beyond 1966 is not canon in Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch-universe.
All of the above.
It’s a title, like village idiot.
or the village bicycle
Keep my wife’s name out of your goddamned mouth!
or the village rapist
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
So likely his name, possibly only his last name.
Maybe that’s meant in a derogatory way though
The entire song is derogatory. If you sing, “You’re a butthole, Mr. Stinky”, then you haven’t identified who you’re singing about, unless someone is actually named Mr. Stinky.

Raymond Edmunds (born 12 March 1944 at Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne, Australia), also known as the Donvale Rapist and Mr. Stinky
Well I’ll give you that one. I guess it’s possible the Grinch, having lived nearby for a while, earned that as his nickname or also know as. Still not his job or ethnicity.
does this imply that the song wasn’t actually talking about the Grinch and he just projected onto it?
Yes, his first name is Ethan.
Not Elon?
Full name Chauncey Tiffany Grinch.
It’s a personality.
It’s a lifestyle choice!
Like his decision not to wear pants?
Yes
