sour puss
Perpetually grumpy person
A sourpuss is someone with a habitually grumpy, displeased, or sullen expression—the kind of person who looks like they've been sucking on a lemon.
The term combines sour with puss, an informal word for face.
Don't be such a sourpuss; it's supposed to be a party.
The word is mildly teasing rather than truly insulting, often used to cajole someone out of a bad mood.
