to be discombobulated by the word..

[purepurple]

discombobulated?
I didn't know what it meant. I had to look it up.
Now it is my new word of the day. I am going to use it all the time.

Great word. So much more descriptive than

I also looked it up love it am going to try to use today

Great words like this always make me think of Black Adder the Third and Doctor Johnson's dictionary.

Johnson "I have every word in the english language in here".

BlackAdder "May I congratulate with you many pericombobulations. Have a sausage".

Johnson "Sausage!!!! Damn your eyes".

Hehe.

Yes, TLDad, it is very much a Black adder word. I can just hear Rowan Atkinson saying it now.
Dis-com-BOB-ulated

My dh uses it all the time and it always makes me piss myself for some reason. Think it is the Blackadder connection!

Piss myself with laughter that is, not just piss myself. Just clearing that up. (Not the piss, the confusion.)

i always thought it was made up!
I used it a few times when it appeared on Blackadder, but it wasn't until last year I decided to look it up, and found that it was a real word. i was so happy

Great word, I try to use it whenever possible!

discombobulated

Love this word.

Along with 'imbroglio', 'discombobulated' is one I try to use as often as possible; so satisfying to roll your tongue around words like these!!

I used it on my facebook status only last week.

I now feel awfully clever.

Not bad for a boarderline chav who cant spell

Awful word. Used by those trying to impress (yawn) without actually knowing what it means.

nearly as good as antidisestablishmentarianism, though easier to use on an everyday basis

I thought it meant confused, in a bit of a fog.

I had a nap in the morning, wasnt used to it, woke up and felt discombulated all afternoon.

Is that not right then?

What does it mean?

Not as good as pergola.

Did someone say Blackadder?

I would also like to add floccinaucinihilipilification. It means to estimate that something is worth nothing. Great word, but levering it into a sentence is pretty hard

thefirstmrsDeVere - the verb is basically to throw someone into confusion, so i think that your sentence does make sense.

I always think of it as a Ken Dodd word, although I'm not sure it is.

I love discombobulated. That and defenestrate.

DH once threatened dd that she would be discombobulated if she didn't tidy up. The threat had an immediate effect.

I like erudite and esoteric.

It's my word!
