.Yeah. The future is now apparently
TIL my entire adulthood has been one long latibulation…
I actually started using this word after that post spread around a few months ago.
Pumpernickel, codswallop, hornswoggle, gobbledegook, flummoxed, collywobbles.
Fun fact, pumpernickel means “goblin fart.” https://www.etymonline.com/word/pumpernickel
Perfectly fitting name IMO
Cromulent even.

Indubitably.

The Power of Discombobulation
Flummoxed.
I prefer flabbergasted myself. Been feeling it a lot since 2016.
I actually use 4 of these regularly in my work as a rigger.
Cattywampus (catty) is actually a term of art. When you need to hang something between two beams, you connect a peice of steel to each beam and then bring them together where they dangle, making a bridle, to get the point in space where you want your thing to hang. It becomes cattywampus (catty) when your bridal legs arent perpendicular to the beams you are hanging them from - typically because you need to dodge obstacles in the way.
The others I use myself and am trying to get to catch on
A kerfuffle (kerfuff) is a messy or complicated problem that probably takes longer than you want to solve. For example, if you drop your rope in but it gets tangled in a bridal 20’ below the beams, it’s a kerfuffle, and your rope is kerfuffed
Shenanigans (shenan) unconventional, creative, and often somewhat unkosher or uncomfortable things you do to solve problems - often how you solve a kerfuffle. If you are straight pulling a motor chain, but then run out of chain right at the top and then tie a foot loop on the rope so you can step off the beam, pull the motor itself into the air, and make the point while you balance/dangle from the foot loop, then that is some shenan.
Bamboozled is when you spend a bunch of time and effort doing something, only to be told that someone else was wrong about something and you need to re-do all your work.
