Understanding Grudges: Definition, Examples, and More

Grudge is a noun that refers to a feeling of resentment or bitterness that someone holds onto for a long time, often due to a past injury or injustice. It can also refer to a long-standing feud or animosity between two people or groups.

For example, "She has been holding a grudge against her ex-boyfriend for years" or "The two families have been carrying a grudge against each other for generations."

In some cases, the word "grudger" may be used to describe someone who is known for holding grudges or harboring resentment, but this is not a commonly used term and "grudge" is more widely understood and used in this context.
