Sitting at midnight espresso at 2am with a hot chocolate and watching people go past can be a pretty cool thing.

the word affable so does not sound like its meaning

Slothking · 3rd July 2004, 17:16

I concur. Same with 'gruntled'.

gruntled

A state of bliss brought on by total acceptance or self and others usually, but not always, accompanied by a low pitched gutteral sound closely resembling an oink.

This is some great slop. You look really good in that mud! I am totally gruntled "Oink"!

Slothking · 3rd July 2004, 18:30

All words starting with 'Dis' should have equal and opposite meanings just by dropping the prefix.

I want to be gruntled, gusted, and appointed. It will make the brightness in my eyes sipate.

American dictionaries -

Grun´tle
Verb 1. gruntle - cause to be more favorably inclined; gain the good will of

gruntle

\Grun"tle\, v. i. [Freq. of grunt.] To grunt; to grunt repeatedly. [Obs.]

gruntle

v : cause to be more favorably inclined; gain the good will of; "She managed to mollify her angry boss" [syn: pacify, lenify, conciliate, assuage, appease, mollify, placate, gentle]

My 1965 Oxford Concise has no entry for it so I'm guessing it's not been in common use for long, if at all.

What about whelmed? Like... you can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Can you just be... whelmed?

ala* · 3rd July 2004, 23:33

hmm.... turns out if ur 'whelmed' ur... overwhelmed.... so... yes?

whelm Audio pronunciation of "whelmed" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hwlm, wlm)
tr.v. whelmed, whelm·ing, whelms

1. To cover with water; submerge.
2. To overwhelm.

whelmed

Whelm \Whelm\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Whelmed; p. pr. & vb. n. Whelming.] [OE. whelmen to turn over, akin to OE. whelven, AS. whelfan, hwylfan, in ?whylfan, ?whelfan, to overwhelm, cover over; akin to OS. bihwelbian, D. welven to arch, G. w["o]lben, OHG. welben, Icel. hvelfa to overturn; cf. Gr. ? bosom, a hollow, a gulf.] 1. To cover with water or other fluid; to cover by immersion in something that envelops on all sides; to overwhelm; to ingulf.

She is my prize, or ocean whelm them all! --Shak.

The whelming billow and the faithless oar. --Gay.

2. Fig.: To cover completely, as if with water; to immerse; to overcome; as, to whelm one in sorrows. ``The whelming weight of crime.'' --J. H. Newman.

3. To throw (something) over a thing so as to cover it. [Obs.] --Mortimer.

Rabble · 3rd July 2004, 23:39

overwhelm - c.1330, "to turn upside down, to overthrow," from over + M.E. whelmen "to turn upside down" (see whelm). Meaning "to submerge completely" is c.1450. Perhaps the connecting notion is a boat, etc., washed over, and overset, by a big wave. Fig. sense of "to bring to ruin" is attested from 1529.

whelm - O.E. -hwielfan (W.Saxon), -hwelfan (Mercian), in ahwelfan "cover over;" probably altered by association with O.E. helmian "to cover."

underwhelm - 1956, a facaetious(sp?) play on overwhelm.

I've always wondered what i'd do if i somehow managed to piss on my pants while at a resturant or something.

I saw one dude standing proud at Iguacu holding his dick in his hand taking a piss (he was real drunk) and he was pissing on his untucked shirt. I laughed and told everyone at our table. He came out with piss stains

I've noticed that cookie has alot of prejudice towards people

she has alot of negative things to say about black people, fat people, females that she thinks are slightly flawed in a miniscule way she will put down, some people are too tall, some too short...
mind you we all know cookie has an opinion on everything

I should just ignore it, I know but it's just that people in glass houses....
