Lingusitics Are You Gruntled with Language Quirks and Freedom Fighters?

[daveb]

If one person is disgruntled but later adopts a cheerier mood, are they now gruntled?

If firefighters fight fire and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight? (OK, not mine, but it's still hilarious).

Here's some more for you...

How important does a person have to be before
they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only
a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made
from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Haha, that's a good one! And to answer your question, I think freedom fighters fight for justice and equality. But I suppose they could also fight for freedom in a more literal sense. Either way, it definitely adds a whole new layer to the term "fighter"!
