“Rouméguer all the time in his corner”: what does this expression mean?

Rouméguer made a remarkable entrance in 2018 in dictionaries, which consider it a word from the South-East, Gascony and Languedoc.

Rouméguer is to grumble, grumble, grumble.

Foreigners, who do not fail to consider the French as complainers, will take advantage of this arrival to employ him.

The word comes from the Latin

(ruminate).

A little help for those who still use the imperfect subjunctive:

Que je rouméguasse / Que tu rouméguasses / Qu'il rouméguât / Que nous rouméguassions / Que vous rouméguassiez / Qu'elles rouméguass.
