Is no news good news? Should duchies only be passed on the left-hand side? Can you mix pasta and anti pasta? Can you be gruntled? What would happen if Meatloaf did 'that'? White shirt with blue hoops or blue shirt with white hoops?

Assuming of course an elephant being in the room is a problem.
It wasn't a problem in a dream I once had!
The elephant was in the kitchen protecting me from the Lion that was trying to get in from the hall. Thankfully, I woke up before finding out what happened!

You can be gruntled. In P G Wodehouse’s The Code of the Woosters, published1938: “He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” So, if you were the opposite of disgruntled you would be pleased, satisfied, and contented.
Wodehouse has been quoted or flatteringly imitated many times since (as in Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett: “‘No, that man,’ said Angua, ‘[with a] face like someone very disgruntled.’ ‘Oh, that was Captain Vimes. But he’s never been gruntled, I think.’”).
I know, I'd get out more, but I just end up boring people 😪

Did you catch 'The Watch' on BBC? Bloody brilliant and, frankly, hilarious. I see myself as a Vimes in training.
