YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A GRUNTLE | 2004-09-29
I told Don that he was going to make my impeccable reputation peccable.
That reminded me of the word "disgruntled." It makes you wonder if anybody was ever gruntled.
Well, I don't know whether peccable is a word, but gruntle is. It means exactly the opposite of what it sounds like. The old English word "gruntled" meant "pleased." That is why "disgruntled" means displeased.
But can you imagine a word that sounds less like happy than gruntled?
