Cangler

/ˈkæŋɡlər/ noun

Definition

A person who cangles; someone who argues, wrangles, or engages in petty disputes.

Etymology

An agent noun formed from 'cangle' plus the suffix '-er,' following the standard English pattern of creating names for people who do something (maker, dancer, cangler).

Kelly Says

If you're a 'cangler,' you're basically that person who always finds something to fuss about—the word itself sounds vaguely pejorative, which makes sense because constant bickering isn't seen as an admirable trait!
