Roget...You Missed One

My youngest son cannot remember the name for The Grinch.  Instead, he has taken to calling it,

"The Grumpy Green Thing Taked Christmas."

I love how a three-year-old can capture the essence of a word so completely.  On average, there are five synonyms for the word "Grinch" in the thesaurus.  So far as I know, "grumpy green thing" is not among them...I checked.
