Yesterday I heard a man say that he was “delighted”.
I have never verbalized the feeling of delight. Nor have I been ‘thrilled’, ‘charmed’, or ‘elated’.
And I’ve certainly never been ‘tickled to death’.
In fact, the highest level of pleasure I have ever verbalized is, I believe, ‘amused’.
mmm
Then you need some Maryland Fried Chicken. On the side of the box it says, “delight your guests”. Thus, eating MFC will make you delighted. No need to thank me. I live to delight. 
What a sad, sad life you must lead, then.
(I am sorta serious: if you really had never felt happy beyond feeling amused, I’d be worried about you. Amusement is barely enough to put a smile on one’s face)
Well, then watch this.
There. You’ve been Dee-lite-ed.
Have you tried drugs?
The host of a television show I used to write for rebelled whenever I called something “lovely.” He wouldn’t say it. It amused me to no end. Yes, the sights are awesome and wonderful and the art is amazing and incredible. But never lovely.
Next time you read a press release, especially from a movie or TV show development, look for the words “delighted” and “thrilled.” There’s some kind of rule that you have to use either or both of those words at least once in every press release.
Borrow one lively kitten and one laser pointer. Turn on laser, and point the beam at the floor. Do not shine laser directly into kitten’s eyes. Prepare to be delighted.
Or go to ZooBorns and be delighted at all the baby animals.
I can’t imagine getting through a whole year without being utterly delighted at least once. How sad not to ever feel that way.
I just wrote a review for a lodging rental which centered on how delighted I was by its owners’ attention to detail.
Someone once stole my desk lamp. I was delighted.
Maybe you’re asking too much, especially from ‘charmed’. I’d say that ‘charmed’ and ‘amused’ can often be applied to the same event or object. With ‘charmed’ perhaps indicating that you were unexpectedly amused or amused for a longer duration.
The same with ‘tickled’ and ‘amused’. The ‘to death’ is usually hyperbole.
The big question is, have you ever laughed hard enough that the tears in your eyes blurred your vision? Or that you lost your breath? ‘Charmed’ and even ‘enchanted’ can go hang if you’ve had a few good laughs.
ETA - Hypnotoad: Someone once reversed the polarity of my deak lamp. Would that . . . nah.
You can either live for delight, or live for de dark

Is Mr. Mustard Mean because he’s never been delighted, or has Mr. Mustard never been delighted because he’s Mean?
I think the idea was that he may have been delighted but he’s never actually said he was. (Although if that’s true, then his thread title is misleading.)
I am certainly delighted and thrilled on a regular basis… I can more readily imagine myself saying I’m thrilled than saying I’m delighted. I don’t think I’d ever declare myself to be tickled pink except in a sort of postmodern way.
I have been delighted less than 5 times in my life. But, then again, I’m a miserable git.
And surly.
Ah, I see.
In that case, I have also verbalized delight, but then again I work in the Marketing department and we use language like that as a matter of course.
Roller coasters, a suggestive glance from a stranger, finding $20 forgotten in a pocket, a random compliment, losing weight, finding the perfect pair of jeans on sale, clean sheets, a baby’s first belly laugh, a grape popsicle from an ice cream truck, nitrous oxide at the dentists office,
Any of these?
As has happened many times before, I thought I was being crystal clear when in fact I was being murky.
I have, it is true, been delighted.
But I have never in my life said, “I am delighted!”
mmm
ETA: Whoa, wait a minute, hold my horses. Upon reading my OP, I do believe I was crystal clear after all:
