Commonly defined as the present tense of "to disrespect", an etymological analysis yields that this abbreviated verb form actually refers to the antithetical state of a broad spectrum of positive attributes when applied. Thus, "to dis", "to be diss'in", or "to have diss'ed" is contextual (i.e. not relegated to disrespect) but ALWAYS connotes the infliction of some wound to a person's psyche, ego, or general well-being. The example below illustrates that "dis" is being used to transfer a state of gruntle from one female to another via nontraditional means. This typifies "dis" as a term rending a general state of gruntle to one of DISgruntled.
