oft opprobrious
old Oscar Oberhammer
only ostracized

An appropriate photo, I think... But of course this is Max, not Oscar, played by Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men, a fabulous comedy from 1993. Walter is one of my all-time-favorite actors. He's best known for his acerbic character on the Odd Couple TV series.

DEFINITION of this 4-syllable adjective:

outrageously disgraceful or shameful: opprobrious conduct.
conveying or expressing opprobrium, as language or a speaker: opprobrious invectives.
