German here to ruin the party: while the German word for broom (der Besen) is masculine grammar wise it is used to refer to someone’s (grumpy) wife in some areas of Germany. We just can’t help it :(
I feel that. In Danish, broom (kost) is also used as an insult towards a woman. Not specifically a grumpy woman though, just a pejorative term for any woman.
