Uffish

It’s a neologism invented by Lewis Carroll nearly 150 years ago and means Grumpy, crotchety, ill-tempered or as Carroll put it “uffish is a state of mind when the voice is gruffish, the manner roughish, and the temper huffish." Carroll invented the word and used it in the poem Jabberwocky which appears in the book “Through The Looking Glass”. It’s still used occasionally in the South West of England.
