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.

Oh I love defenestrate.

What a brilliant language English is. How many other languages have a specific word to describe the act of throwing something out of a window.

Discombobulation is such a Blackadder word - think of Blackadder 2 when that girl dresses up as a boy and is called Bob. The way Rowan Atkinson proounces that word is so funny.

you always use it when you're feeling very mean as a word for punch someone's lights out.

(geddit? lights is another word for window!)
