grink

Verb, portmanteau of "green ink (letter)". Used to describe the act of writing an aggrieved complaint letter or e-mail, usually to the media and always by someone emotionally damaged or just plain insane. So called because such letters are, according to urban legend, frequently written using green ink.

When I wrote that piece about asylum seekers I got severely grinked by a retired army major from Tunbridge Wells.
