Who are you and how did you get in here!?
Your name is Lizardman Lizardman?
Well, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it's your first, middle, and last name at the same time
I can get behind it being a first and last name simultaneously, but can it be a middle name if it’s not surrounded evenly on either side by another name.
I guess we could say it is equally surrounded by nothing and therefore in the middle. I’m overthinking!!
I see your point. It's much weirder to say one thing is also the middle thing. It's probably much safer to say you have a middle name only if you have an odd number of names greater than one. You safely (IMO) have two middle names if you have an even number of names greater than two.
The business cards are just ridiculous.
Lizardman Lizardman, Lizardman
Wait until you find out about the Mario brothers.
The captions are off, originally it was, "Name, race, and occupation?" It was the only picture I could find, though.
It's his title, short for Exalted Grandiose Grinchimus Maximus de la Biblioteca.
Grinch is s state of mind
He's Mr Grinch, so it's at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It's possible that it's also his job (see "Smith"), but prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge
I thought it was a character trait. I assumed he had a "Who" name, but no one uses it because he was being a dick all the time so they called him "the Grinch."
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
So likely his name, possibly only his last name.
Maybe that's meant in a derogatory way though
The entire song is derogatory. If you sing, "You're a butthole, Mr. Stinky", then you haven't identified who you're singing about, unless someone is actually named Mr. Stinky.

Raymond Edmunds (born 12 March 1944 at Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne, Australia), also known as the Donvale Rapist and Mr. Stinky
Well I'll give you that one. I guess it's possible the Grinch, having lived nearby for a while, earned that as his nickname or also know as. Still not his job or ethnicity.

Full name Chauncey Tiffany Grinch.
‘Grinch’ is a holistic integration of multi-categorical nomenclatures.
Im going to use that on my friend who works in HR
I can't find a specific image of it, only a reddit post talking about it, but in Grinch (2018) he buys green hair dye. I interpret that to mean he is just a normal whoville resident, but dyed green. I suppose his green grinch hair could be graying and he wants to look young, or he could just be some other color and chooses to be green, but I like to imagine him as some crazy naked hermit that makes himself green and everyone else just puts up with it.
I don't buy it. Anything beyond 1966 is not canon in Dr. Seuss' The Grinch-universe.
In Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), he was green since the day he ~~was born~~ drifted in on his pumbersella.
He's not a who, he's a what
Which is why
High in the sky
The Grinch didn't like Whoville very much
Every one was so-and-so, someone or suchCan I ask what you use for the text formatting and colors? Ive seen this tool used a bunch on lemmy, and am quite curious.
I just manually indented the text four spaces for each line 🤷
Looks like code formatting, probably using backticks

It’s a title, like village idiot.
or the village bicycle
or the village rapist
Keep my wife's name out of your goddamned mouth!
Yes
It's most likely either a species (like the sneetches) or, to my mind, a descriptor given to him by the narrator. Keep in mind no character (namely the grinch, who does speak) ever refers to himself as such. Sort of like if someone narrated your life and called you "the grouch".
Sorry, going to be that person https://www.etymonline.com/word/Grinch

Grinching – the opposite of gooning.
"Yo fam you wanna go gooning later?"
