He is so attached to his own (elegantly expressed) orneriness that he sometimes picks the wrong fights.

Even the most agreeable septuagenarian men don't change, let alone someone like Trump, whose character has long been defined by orneriness.

Every conversation we've had about how she's brought this story to life has shown this great amount of stubbornness and orneriness that is at the core of June.

But there remains in him a stiff orneriness that Mr. Jones captures with subtle comic flair; it constitutes his only rebuke to the misfortunes life has dealt, and he will carry it to his grave like a tarnished badge of honor.

Mr. Mermelstein (Leonard Nimoy) and Mrs. Mermelstein (Blythe Danner) are a true-life California couple thrown into the spotlight of judicial history in the 1980s.

Claude Pepper Foundation: Evaluation of Tracy Danese's Claude Pepper and Ed Ball: Politics, Purpose, and Power by Steve Hach Ball was a main (but not the only) financer of the defeat of Claude Pepper's effort to be reelected to the United States Senate in 1950. Pepper's liberalism and Ball's conservatism feuded through much of the 1940s and 1950s, prompting a book to be written in 2000: Claude Pepper and Ed Ball: Politics, Purpose, and Power. According to a 1979 article in the New York Times, Edward Ball at various times was called a Robber Baron and a political power broker; a clever man with a dollar and a dangerous man to cross; a courtly Virginian with the ladies and a ruthless foe. He is known for "orneriness" but insists his reputation is undeserved; he claims he was just a trusted functionary who did his best for the institution he served.
