Have you ever heard the word “churls” before? Today is the first I’ve encountered the word myself. I was playing Word Womp on pogo and spelled out “churls” expecting it to be wrong but it turned out it was right. There’s such a word as “churls”; so I went for my tenth edition Miriam Webster collegiate dictionary and looked up the word and this is what I found out:

A churl can be a rude or ill-bred person; or a churl can be a stingy or morose person; therefore churls are rude or ill-bred people or stingy, morose people.

Churl is also used to refer to a medieval peasant, or a person from country.

The word churlish refers to a person who behaves like a churl. To behave churlishly is to behave vulgarly. A churlish person is boorish and difficult to work with or to deal with.

Since a churl is a person, churls would be a noun.

I’m using a stock photo of an obnoxious customer service rep because I’ve surely dealt with my fair share of churlish customer service representatives.
