Why does "gruntled" sound even more unhappy than "disgruntled?"

[-] weastie@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Probably because "grunt" is a sound you usually make when unhappy.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

It's a real fiction, non-fiction switcheroo.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 40 points 6 months ago

My flabbers are gasted.

"You can add the frequentive suffix and call the pig a gruntler" sounds like profanity from a sci-fi movie.

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works -4 points 6 months ago

It's not a verb.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 38 points 6 months ago

In English, everything verbs.

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Don't verb nouns; it weirds language.

I am nonplussed.

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

This entire thread is very chalant.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I find it sensical.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Same reason you don’t know individual is the opposite of dividual and derived from indivisible. Collective amnesia.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

we do use "divide(d)" a lot though which is very close.

[-] lath@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Above an underling you will find a ling and above them, you will find an overling.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I think I'm more combobulated.

[-] deikoepfiges_dreirad@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

I was gruntled when it was just feet on gravel. To have come apart, I must have once been raveled.
