A grue is a fictional predator that dwells in the dark. The word was first used in modern times as a fictional predator from Jack Vance's Dying Earth[1] universe (described as being part "ocular bat", part "unusual hoon" and part man).[2] Vance probably took the name from an archaic/dialectal English verb derived from a Scandinavian word meaning to feel horror, shudder (OED), now most commonly encountered in the word "gruesome" (Danish: "grufuld", Swedish: "gruvlig", Norwegian: "grusom", German: "gruselig, gruseln", Dutch: "griezelig, griezelen").
Nick, that is highly offensive and next time I see you I will beat you to such a pulp that you will be unable to distinguish jews from your own questionable ethnic heritage because of the level of offence I have taken from your racist statement.
