Has "cranky" fallen out of usage?
Not as long as there are pants in the universe.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

WTF was she thinking. Even if I thought someone(s) had been mistakenly left off the list, I wouldn't invite them myself without at least talking to the host. (This actually came up a few weeks ago, and I was correct, it was a mistake, but I didn't just go ahead and invite them)
exactly! and might I add that she invited TEN people to a fifteen person list? If the invitation was going to be that large, I'm sure that there are other people that HE would have liked to invite.

I use "cranky" all the time. And I was watching the Cheaper By The Dozen from a few years ago last night (it had nothing at all to do with the book other than the title and the fact that the family had 12 kids), and there was a blooper reel at the end. One of the clips was the director trying to get some little kids to do something, and they were squirmy and whiny and clearly needed a nap and were all, "Do we have to do this AGAIN?" The director said, "OK, I want you to say this line as if you're really cranky," and one of the kids responded, "But I AM really cranky."

OMG she needs to be uninvited! How rude!

Loves my bitches. Thank you for the cranky affirmations. I was told "only curmudgeons use that word" by my dad's wife. Ummm, color me a curmudgeon then. (not that I can spell it for the life of me).

That? Ridic.
I'd bet that she's inviting people in a particular circle she's familiar with.

Holy shit. I'm sorry, I don't think hinting is enough. You've doubled the size of the party - what the hell? Is there a way to rescind through e-vites? (Though writing that email is a task I don't want to contemplate.) Maybe you need to cancel the whole thing and resend the invite to the actual guests. Possibly minus one.

Practically doubled the size of the guest list? That's ridiculous.

Only curmudgeons use the word curmudgeons. People who are likely to beat you to death if they haven't had morning coffee use the word cranky.
