Friday Word of the Day

dis⋅com⋅bob⋅u⋅late [dis-kuhm-bob-yuh-leyt]–verb (used with object), -lat⋅ed, -lat⋅ing. to confuse or disconcert; upset; frustrate: The speaker was completely discombobulated by the hecklers.

Discombobulate is one of my favorite words. I use it quite frequently to describe my mental state of being. Please use it in a sentence and you shall be rewarded with the most delicious virtual chocolate you've ever had!
