To be aghast at this?

Hi all,
My uncle recently bought my grandparents vitamins and I saw the box of my Gran’s vitamins out of the corner of my eye, but thought it was vaginal lubricant. So I whispered to my gran (in the busy kitchenette) “oh my god, I thought your vitamins was vaginal lubricant” (we have that sort of relationship where we can talk about things like that). And my grandad said loudly “it’s bad manners to whisper” so my gran shouted (in the kitchenette with my cousin, auntie, mum and gran and grandad, and my much younger brother and cousin in the living room, which is open plan from the kitchenette!) “don’t be so bloody nosey... noseynails thought my vitamins was vaginal lubricant and was trying to spare you all!” Then she muttered “nosey pig”. I was affronted!! I could have crawled up my own arse! Do you have any stories to share to console me?

Yabu to use the word aghast to begin with but especially about this. Did you clutch your pearls too? Hmm

Ginger affronted doesn't mean pissed off, it means offended; aghast is more like shocked and astonished than affronted.

Great use of word aghast. Needs to be used more often.
