Hi, and welcome to the forum! If you use the site dictionary, you get "escocés" for "grouse." Try it next time. It's quite good.
My Wordsworth dictionary has "urogallo". My guess is that there may be different words; for example, "skunk" is a different word in different countries.
Welcome to the forum!
Spanishdict also has a great dictionary...if you type in "grouse" and scroll through all the entries, you have several choices - none of which are "urogallo"!
Grouse as a noun ( primary entry ) = bird Grouse as an intrasitive verb = bellyacher, complainer, crab, crank, faultfinder, griper, whiner etc Grouser = noun
in English a grouse is also one that likes to complain alot, or is snippy (used in England, never heard anyone use it in the U.S.
The O.E.D. does not support this assertion. The primary meaning (for the noun) is, of course, the bird. The secondary meaning (again, as a noun) is "A grumble or complaint: a reason for grumbling." (but not the person who grouses). You are, perhaps, thinking of 'grouch'.
Urogallo is a grouse as in bird, in English a grouse is also one that likes to complain alot, or is snippy (used in England, never heard anyone use it in the U.S.
