Ever since then, my glee at getting my lollipop licked has been tainted with advance remorse
Not only a classic (if cliched) metaphor, but a superb (and possibly unintentional) pun.
PSA of the day: another word for "taint" is "grundel". I just found this out recently. Taint by itself is funny enough, but I think I actually injured myself laughing when I learned "grundel".
I'll bet disgrundeled employees are twice as unpleasant as disgruntled ones.
The urban dictionary assigns the same meaning to Grendel. There seems, however, to be no prurient alternate definition of Beowulf, beyond the act of ripping off someone's arm. More's the pity.
So would the PC term for someone who's disgrundeled be "grundically challenged"? If so, then might not a NY Post headline during, say, strike negotiations read "Management Gives Grundically Challenged Employees The Finger"?
I can't believe I only found this place about a month ago or so.

I'm happy to see that Unfogged is now #1 for google searches for "big cock candy mountain".

Grendel lived near a stinky cave, right?

I so didn't need that.

Well, come to think of it.

What would it mean if somebody was grundeloquent?

Maybe that's like elephantitis of the grundel.
