    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.

        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.

    ‘Grinch’ is a holistic integration of multi-categorical nomenclatures.

    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.

            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.

          does this imply that the song wasn’t actually talking about the Grinch and he just projected onto it?

    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”.

    It’s a personality.
