"O" is opportunism

Some of Old Man Twist's bitterness seems to have been fueled by the lack of opportunism afforded him by having a well-married son way down in Texas.

OMT was a petulant person with plenty of pet peeves.

"R" is rankled

Jack's wish for his ashes to be scattered on Brokeback rankled OMT, who felt his son thought he was too special to be buried in the family plot.

The old man sat silent, his hands folded on the plastic tablecloth, staring at Ennis with an angry, knowing expression.  [story]

"U" is unmannered
« Reply #14945 on: September 22, 2007, 12:24:38 am »
While unmannered OMT expectorated infelicitously into his coffee cup, Ennis was quite mannerly with his "thank you, ma'am" and "yes, sir".

Old Man Twist's comments to Ennis about his son were all in a negative vein.

"W" is walloping

One time OMT gave three- or four-year-old Jack quite a walloping for missing the toilet and then showed him "what it's like with piss all over the place."  :(
