I am sure I will be Grundled with anything you come up with, you are very ept at this kind of thing. - John D Reasor

I just used ept in Tad's thread. Is it even a word? - Jim the Blatant

"Now behave!" "I am being have!" - me - caj

I am usually sheveled, but my house is rarely sheveled. It usually only happens when I perse my clutter into a pile. - FFing Enigma

Man... I'm slow today. It took WAAAAYY to long to pickup on ---sheveled. LOL! Glen and Tina, y'all rock! - Anthony K. Valley © from email

A shirt with "Ept and Gruntled" and an alpaca on it would be awesome. Sign me up for five. - SOMEBODY!

Wouldn't it just? Because alpacas always look like they're smiling and perhaps plotting some mischief, and if that's not the definition of "ept and gruntled" I don't know what is! - FFing Enigma

Well, we are cool like that Chris. And in other news: I think I found just the alpaca for this shirt. - FFing Enigma

isn't the opposite term to inept "adept"? so, inept is useless, adept is good at it.. would ept be "average at it"? - alphaxion

Good point. Then again, I do find myself to be rather average in most things so I think the shirt would still work. Actually, the meaning 'average and happy' is perhaps appropriate. - FFing Enigma

I'm down with "average and happy." Where do I place my order? - Anthony K. Valley © from email

Genius! Count me in! - Kevin J Hatton

I think this should be a shirt w00t. :) - SOMEBODY!

Yes, need shirt. - Chris Charabaruk

I know someone that can make those t-shirts happen. Oh and I like to tell people they have no couth (as opposed to being uncouth). - Josh Haley

I'm quite combobulated this morning. - Kevin Fox

Yeah, I'm working on a shirt cause now I really want one. Hence my post about vectorizing an alpaca! - FFing Enigma

Yes my friends there you have it, the terms ept, shelved, gruntled and vectorizing alpaca in one post. One for the FF Hall of Fame. - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

Steve, I am positively whelmed. - Ordinarybug Heather

Face it, The English Language is just bizzare - Brent - Yes I am

I love the Online Etymology Dictionary. Oddly enough, 'dis-' in 'disgruntled' isn't the usual negation, but provides emphasis. http://www.etymonline.com/index... So 'disgruntled' is even more gruntled than 'gruntled'. 'Inept' is derived from Latin 'ineptus' which can be parsed as 'in-' + 'aptus', so the opposite of 'inept' would be 'apt'. http://www.etymonline.com/index... - Victor Ganata

isn't EPT early pregnancy test? - Mike Nencetti

But Victor, that takes all the fun out of it, not to mention making my alpaca useless. - FFing Enigma

Shame on you Tina, there is no such thing as a useless vectorized alpaca - SteVe "Beefy Miracle" C

Tina, you always make me laugh! :D - Anne Bouey

A Very Descript Man (attributed to a J. H. Parker) I am such a dolent man, I eptly work each day; My acts are all becilic, I've just ane things to say. My nerves are strung, my hair is kempt, I'm gusting and I'm span: I look with dain on everyone And am a pudent man. I travel cognito and make A delible impression: I overcome a slight chalance, With gruntled self-possesion. My, dignation would be great If I should digent be: I trust my vagance will bring An astrous life for me. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulleti... - Micah

I surrender! Micah wins! - Anthony K. Valley © from email

Tina, yeah, you should probably ignore me. :) I like the alpaca idea. - Victor Ganata

I'm plussed and I will be terred! - Rick Cogley

Can't help thinking about this exchange on The Office when I see "gruntled":Michael: No need for consternation. Everything is under control. Jan: Michael, last Friday one of your employees attacked another employee in your office! Michael: It was a crime of passion, Jan. Not a disgruntled employee. Everyone here is extremely gruntled. - Cheryl Jones

Sometimes when I have too much to eat, I gruntle a little. - Rick Cogley

This thread is making me want to gurgitate. - Reed Porter

Really? I find it makes me rather combulated. - FFing Enigma

BUMP! - FFing Enigma

Whoa, a lot more good ones in here! Added the ones we didn't have yet into my thread (including your original "ept") - http://friendfeed.com/faithx5... - Jandy

=) - Micah

I think the words "ept" and "gruntled" would be well-represented by the image of a goat. A goat is ept, rarely putting a foot wrong on the sheerest of rock faces, and seems particularly gruntled while its life lacks surprises and predatory threats. - Slippy Lane
