DISCOMBOBULATED

Pronounced ~ dis-com-bob-u-lated.

Means ~ thrown into confusion.

As in ~ the lion is discombobulated by the skateboarding wildebeest.

And ~ my parents are discombobulated when I suddenly start speaking Swedish.*

A bit like ~ befuddled, bamboozled.

Don't confuse with ~ anything.

If you like this word, try ~ nincompoop.

* This won't make any sense if you are actually Swedish.
