                                CONFUSED!     CONFUSED!   CONFUSED!


      I'm completely taken aback(surprised)by the number of synonyms of the word 'confused' which is so often used in our everyday language. Get over this  hackneyed(common) word and check out some new ones , after all , you've got to make an impression! Here you go...

Flummoxed , bewildered , puzzled , rattled , addled , discombobulated , flustered , flabbergasted , perplexed, confounded , befuddled . 

All these words are verbs and many of them have different meanings as nouns .  Be cautious with their usage.

The keynote(Central idea) is to abjure(renounce) old dilapidated(decaying ) words and fill your vocabulary with words which are new to you.
