aibu to suggest alternatives

[fluckered]

to the overused and predictable "shocked" and "horrified" aibus. may i suggest that instead of being horrified over a friends' parenting style you are "aghast" or indeed "un-nerved".

that instead of being shocked at a family member having their birthday party on a week day that you are "scandalised" or "double whammied" or "stupified".

lets change it up a little .... the more far fetched alternatives the better and bonus points for teaming new word with a popular aibu topic!

How very dare you

Can I be "rocked to my very core" by something? Preferably something really trivial which doesn't actually impact on my life at all?

I am frankly quite disconcerted by this post. It's making me quite agitated.

oooo rocked to my very core i like that!

I'm terribly vexed and discombobulated by the very suggestion.

rather agitated that your teeth itching which i never ever heard of before until MN and to be honest it baffled me as well as the usual horrification at the thoughts of teeth itching ... rocked me to my very core you could say.

What about "sickened. sickened beyond belief."

Possibly over something like a toddler having a biscuit on at its own birthday party?

GOd yes, sickened! how did i forget that one ... or "a little saddened".

As long as nobody is claiming to be "shell-shocked," I can turn a blind eye.

But preferably we should all be agape. Sounds wonderfully pornographic.

I'm stymied. Almost discombobulated.

Damnit, I started that post ages ago, before discombobulated had been mentioned. Now I'm feeling disenfranchised.

I'm 'bereft' that someone parked in a p&c space without a child :(

Bewildered

I'm torn. Bound and broken...lying naked on the floor.

Because so many people are leaving the apostrophe out of Mother's Day

My heart was ripped from my body over it...

I am disappointed that this thread has fallen below your usually exceptionally high standards, OP.
Whilst also being f*cking gobsmacked.

Not to mention incredulous, as well as incandescent with rage...

I have taken the headstaggers......... because we were promised snow, but oh no, no snow, so will have to go to work tomorrow after all!

I am done in, spent and knackered.

Ooh I am also crestfallen and deflated.

I came over all unnecessary.

I want to be incandescent with rage (or anything else).

Can one be incandescent with anything other than rage?

Is incandescent a bit like iridescent? Sparkly?

I suppose you could be incandescent with burning magnesium.

That would make an original OP.
