Discombobulated is the one I use the most.

Several years ago we had a couple of painters here.  I used the word "gingerly" in a sentence while talking to them.  They wanted to know who Ginger was and what did she have to do with what we were talking about   OY!

Lol, I use flabbergasted, lollygagging, brouhaha and kerfuffle quite often.😂😂😂

I think we should bring back more of these words!  They sure sound better than that malarkey the Gen Z'ers talk.😃❤️

I still use a lot of these! Great words that can just describe what you are trying to say in one wonderful word! Or when you can't remember the right word for something these will always do!

I mean for example- doohickey-so good. My grandkids laugh everytime I use it.

They laugh because they thought it was a whatchamacall it, not a doohickey!

@Zhills,

Lol!

But really a whatchamcallit I use when I can't for the life of me think of a word! Doohickey is when something is in it's own right, well, a doohickey lol!
