Morgenmuffel
I thought this was such a lovely word that I had to share it. It is German and describes people who are not ‘morning people.’ A morgenmuffel is uncommunicative in the morning and unlikely to engage willingly in conversation, to the point of being monosyllabic. The opposite of morgenmuffel is morgenmensch, a morning person, lively and talkative from the moment they wake.
I’m sure Ingrid (Gattina) can probably add more to the context.
I am a morgenmuffel, while Barry is a morgenmensch. I am frequently accused of initiating the Colonel’s Breakfast.
