Savage Chickens by Doug Savage for April 17, 2023

I believe pigs tend to be gruntled.

From etymonline: "1938, in gruntled “pleased, satisfied,” a back-formation from disgruntled. The original verb (early 15c.) meant “to utter a little or low grunt,” hence “to murmur, complain” (1560s)." Gruntle gruntle.

LOL!

These sort of jokes leave me whelmed

Gruntled is an actual word that means satisfied or pleased.

You probably were gruntled at some point in time.

Just like the opposite of uncouth. I had a friend who called good manners “practicing my couth”.

I wonder if he’s ever been sheveled or combobulated.

If he’s disgruntled, then he must be a foul fowl.

I hereby declare this subject is a floccinaucinihilipilification.

“Is gruntled the opposite of disgruntled?Disgruntle developed from this intensifying sense of dis- plus gruntle, an old word (now used only in British dialect) meaning “to grumble.” In the 1920s, a writer humorously used gruntle to mean “to make happy”—in other words, as an antonym of disgruntle."

So there you are…
