Welcome
ETYMOLOGY
The word Grunch traces to a tiny satirical tome published in 1983 and entitled Grunch of Giants by its author-inventor R. Buckminster Fuller (Bucky).
Fuller pointed out the lack of a “group word” for “giants” in English, such as a “murder” of crows or a “gaggle” of geese.
So why not a “grunch” of giants?
Q: And what were these giants?
A: These were giant corporations making off with all the dough.
GRUNCH is also an acronym and stands for:
GRoss UNiversal Cash Heist.
Kinda clever! Here’s a link to the book at the BFI site (complete text on-line!).
