You Googled “what does grmbl mean?”
First of all, welcome. Weird way to meet, but we’ll take it.
grmbl is our slightly irritated, unnecessarily vowel-free version of grumble. You know—that low-level complaining you do when your alarm goes off, someone schedules a meeting that could've been an email, or you're asked to leave the house after you've already changed into comfortable pants.
Basically:
grmbl
verb-ish. noun-ish. lifestyle.
To express mild annoyance, sarcasm, general displeasure, or the overwhelming desire to be left alone without actually making a big deal about it.
Example:
“I have plans tonight.”
grmbl.
There. Now you know.
So why grmbl tees?
Because apparently “mildly annoyed introverts who communicate primarily through sarcasm” was too long for a domain name.
grmbl tees is an independent graphic t-shirt brand for people who have something to say but would strongly prefer not to actually say it to anyone.
We make original funny graphic t-shirts, sarcastic tees, introvert shirts, work-humor tees, and generally weird shirts for people who appreciate a good joke and a reasonable amount of personal space.
Our shirts say things like:
“Sounds Like an Issue, Not an Ishme.”
In other words, we make shirts that say what you're already thinking.
It's not really about being grumpy
Despite the name, we're not sitting around shaking our fists at the neighborhood kids.
Usually.
grmbl is more about finding the funny in all the mildly irritating, awkward and ridiculous parts of everyday life.
Too many meetings.
Too many people.
Plans you immediately regret making.
Someone standing directly in front of the thing you need at the grocery store.
Being asked, “Why are you so quiet?”
Having to create another password with one uppercase letter, two numbers, a symbol, a hieroglyphic and the blood of your firstborn.
That kind of stuff.
Sometimes you complain about it.
Sometimes you laugh about it.
We put it on a shirt.
So…what does grmbl mean?
Officially?
Nothing.
It's grumble with less effort.
And that actually sums us up pretty well.
