Grumbletonian: n. [late 17C-mid19C] a constant grumbler, esp. as regards the 'state of the country'. [a pun on two late 17C religious sects, the Muggletonians (founded 1651 by Lodowicke Muggleton) and Grindletonians (?the Yorkshire village of Grindleton).."
Source: Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, 2000, edited by Joshua Green, p. 543.

These days, nearly everyone is a Grumbletonian.
