Definitions
A Maine dialect intensifier describing a person as ornery, cantankerous, or difficult — or used as a general adjective for something unpleasant or bad. It carries the flavor of exasperated rural New England speech, the kind of word deployed instead of swearing outright. Closely tied to the distinctive vocabulary of northern New England folk speech and now rare outside that region.
Don't mind him — he's always been a jo-jeezly old crank who argues with everyone.
