A terse retort. A short sharp response to someone who is struggling to contain themselves and is pushing their insecurities outwards onto everyone else. A 'grundy response' should only be used with people who you have a baseline friendship and / or respect with as they are often quite harsh and may include profanity.
The term can also be used in a derogatory fashion when referring to anytime you responded negatively to someone who is asking you to do something (haha I gave him a grundy response)

At a relaxed social gathering at Tommy's house people are preparing for a large scale group dinner. Tommy is stressed because he wants everything to be perfect, as a result he is pushing his stress outwards onto everyone else. Jim is making gravy for the above mentioned dinner:
Tommy: Jim is the gravy ready?
Jim: Not yet, I'm working on it, just need a little more time to make it good enough.
(30 seconds later)
Tommy: Jim, the gravy, is it ready? What's happening!?
Jim: I'm working on it, I want to do a good job, it should be ready soon.
(10 seconds later)
Tommy: Look, Jim, the consensus is that we don't care how good the gravy is.
Jim: Well, the consensus can go fuck itself Tommy <- Grundy response
At first look the Grundy response seems harsh, but in reality Jim is aware of how relaxed the situation is and that Tommy is just running around talking a lot but getting very little done other than stressing people out. The grundy response is used to snap him back into the reality of the situation.

Get the Grundy response mug."Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.
Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

Get the Paradox of the responsible adult mug.Then, under the auspices of this, how is Matt Walsh NOT responsible for that school shooting? Where he said it was a holy war and then the next day their was a school. Shooting a at catholic school. The first trans shooter ever. If HE is responsible for everything HE does... AND everything everyone else does... How is the thing I SAID earlier incorrect?
A fucking retard "Cus you're a misogynist and I don't want you to be right about anything anymore."
Hym "Well... I AM. You make up your own bullshit rules regarding behavior. You apply it to everyone. You give yourself a pass. You give your logic never applies to your friends or allies. And then you turn around and cry when anyone else doesn't follow them. 'But why aren't you following my rule about not talking about my slut-daughter and/or purpose generating fuck trophies!?' Look at him! 'You're responsible for what you do AND what everyone else does.' So how is your co-worker NOT responsible for your 'holy war' against the trans the resulted in a bunch of murdered children? BY YOUR OWN LOGIC Matt Walsh has murdered more children then I have. Or am I ALSO responsible for that? I'm responsible for everything everyone does? Is society responsible? Is society 'getting what it deserves' when that happens? I take no responsibility for that. I have been largely excised from society. So no... I'm not responsible for that. Matt IS responsible for that. According to Jordan Peterson. Both can go fuck themselves. Enjoy your 'holy war' and your dead kids."
