Some of it were funny but I do agree, it makes you ponder how ironic things can be when it is only intended for something else. :lol:
 
I was actually curious enough that I looked up "gruntled" and from Merriam-Webster:

Disgruntled when looked up is dated at 1682 and "gruntle" was back-formed from it, first seen in 1926. Or so this is stated on the website :) interesting!

Then I looked up "synonym" from rhymezone.com and searched for synonyms... guess what I got, lol.

"Equivalent word"

So I guess there is no ONE word for it at least! :laugh2:

About the fly, some of my students have always asked me why it is called a fly when there are other things that can fly. I was stumped!
