1893 June 21, William Archer, “‘An Enemy of the People’—The Comédie Française”, in The Theatrical ‘World’ for 1893, London: Walter Scott, section XXVII, pages 163–4:Even the most “frumious” anti-Ibsenite will admit that, except in one or two trivial instances, the productions have been as well prepared, as smooth, as adequate, as they could possibly have been in any actor-managed theatre.
2005 October 7, Laura Barton, “‘Everything I'm Doing is So Cool’”, in The Guardian:So much of his conversation is infused with the eyes-agog zealotry of one who has recently docked from a voyage to the far-flung land of popstardom. But instead of talking of mimsy borogroves or the frumious Bandersnatch, he recounts tales of gigs in “vibey” New York city bars, garage rock, and “cool green vinyl”.
2013 July 30, Joshua David Stein, “An Elm Grows in Brooklyn: Paul Liebrandt Brings His Weirdo Genius to Williamsburg—But Does the Neighborhood Deserve Him?”, in Observer:Earlier this month, into this frumious scrum leapt Paul Liebrandt, one of the city's most interesting and talented chefs.
2016 May 29, Stephen Wilbers, “To Be a Fully Developed Person (and Leader), You Need to Dream”, in Star Tribune, Minneapolis, MN:Sometimes when I read “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to my 3-year old granddaughter for the seventh time in as many days, I let myself go. I surrender myself to the story and I go galumphing in the magical world of her imagination. Other times the story makes me frumious.
2019 June 1, Sam Wollaston, “Charlie Brooker: ‘Happy? I Have My Moments’”, in The Guardian:Bandersnatch overcomes the hurdles ingeniously. But for some of us traditional old farts who don't want our television in kit form, it was just a bit too frumious.
