Uffish

from Lewis Carroll – Jabberwocky on Rap Genius

Note from Martin Gardner’s The Annotated Alice:

“The Bellman looked uffish, and wrinkled his brow,” Snark, Fit 4, verse 1. In a letter to child-friend Maud Standen, 1877, Carroll wrote that “uffish” suggested to him “a state of mind when the voice is gruffish, the manner roughish, and the temper huffish.”
