"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 I tactfully changed the subject." (from The Code of the Woosters, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
Yes, Virginia, "gruntled" is a word. It means "pleased, satisfied, contented." Sir Pelham was entirely proper in his usage of it.
