currish

A lank, ugly cur, of unassignable breed, but unmistakably currish—a rank, unmitigated cur, with melancholy visage and moist eyes—returned the look.

As one well-fed dog is sure to be snarlish to a poorer brother—poor human nature—this currish principle is but too true when applied to us.

There was no craven slinking, there were no currish snarls.

"The lives of all that faithful be, This good day, will I spare; But wo betide or kings or boors, That currish Christians are!"

O people currish, churlish as their seas— He rejoices he leaves them, never to return till “rocks shall turn to rivers.”
