The disgruntled youths of Ireland

Sh1tbag OToole

Ya'know the type.

Probably born to a strict and slightly old-fashioned mammy, forced to play GAA even though he couldn't kick a ball to save his life. Usually these lads are fairly intelligent and do alright in school but throughout the years a resentment and a bitterness grows inside them for the people and the place they grew up around but he keeps his head down and stays quiet until he goes to college.

Then it all comes out, while listening to death metal one October night he comes to the realisation that he hates God, hates diddly-eye music, hates the Irish countryside, hates mammy's soda bread, hates picturesque white cottages, hates sheep, hates daysul, hates hurling and football and can't stand the gaeilge one bit at all.

Then they usually go away to some far flung place or Dublin if they can't go foreign for whatever reason and find a job and come back gloating about how absolutely amazing the place is but how long does the bitterness last?

What usually happens to these f*ckers when they leave their 20's, do they become all sentimental and want to go back or do they continue their crusade against the old Irish ways?

I reckon most countries experience the same phenomenon to some extent. I'm curious to know if these people end up carrying a life-long hate for sheep or whatever animal was common in their home country? What kind of personality are they likely to take on when they're older?

Is 'gruntled' the opposite of disgruntled?

Yes.

I think regruntled is the opposite

'gruntled' being the neutral state /position.

Gruntled is an actual word. The Merriam-Webster dictionary puts it as "to put in a good humor".

Nope, gruntled means satisfied.

I accept though that it is a back formation from disgruntled.

We get the **** otu of ireland and create lives for oursleves in more open-minded countries that offer a bit of variety and where people are less judgemental and more interesting and don't go out of their way to moan about other people who don't fit their narrow mindset. Simple.

Anything else I can help you with tonight?

Ladies and Gruntlemen, thank you for the gettin learned on some new words.

I'm not one of these people. I like my hometown but to be honest can you not see where they're coming from? Forced into a certain lifestyle with no outlet. Alot of the countryside is steeped in GAA and traditional Irish ways of life. There's nothing wrong with that either but I would be very resentful if I found no one I could relate to and felt isolated for years.

In general I find that these people become ye know, people! They find like minded people when they leave home grow happy and become well adjusted. So what if they have bitterness and resentment to their hometown/village. They hated it and left they didn't sit there whining about it. As far as their concerned their living the life they finally want to and probably rarely think of where they came from because they're enjoying themselves. Just my experience anyway.

I find the opposite to be true of those well adjusted to living in rural Ireland and find Dublin a place to avoid. The thought of moving away from home is unthinkable.

Its the psychology of it all that I'm interested in.
