“Overjoyed” what a weird word

“I’m so overjoyed!” can be read three ways:

–It can sound like you are INCREDIBLY HAPPY!!!

–You are being sarcastic.

–You are being a smart butt, because the “over” part of “overjoyed” could mean you are sooooo over being joyed. Like, “over” as in “done with.”

And “bungalow”.. that’s an odd one. I want to meet a girl named “Joyed”.. then 20 years from now I can finally say “You know.. I’m so over Joyed.”
