Grumpy/irritable
Hi.
Any difference between 'irritable' & 'grumpy'?
"There are also those who don't show their anger in loud spectacular ways but are chronically irritable and grumpy. "

Thanks in advance

"Grumpy old men" is a kind of catch phrase (from movies.)
Grumpy has, for me, a note of humor or being humored.
