Glue-less
A bilingual pun (Hinglish) describing a state of being completely free from sadness, sorrow, or worry.
The word is derived from a linguistic chain: Glue is often referred to as "Gum" (adhesive). In Hindi and Urdu, the word "Gham" (ग़म)—which sounds identical to the English "Gum"—means sadness or grief. Therefore, to be Glue-less is to be "Gham-less" (without sorrow).
While "Clueless" means you don't know what's going on, "Glue-less" means you’re too happy to care.
