As the end of week one draws to a close for the Blogging From A-Z Challenge we find ourselves at the letter ‘F.’ Now there are a few words that I could do for this letter, but they would not be very polite, so I am going to opt for the beautifully sounding flummoxed.
Now this word is mystifying in a kind of ‘what’s going on?’ type of way. It is the vacant expressioned bamboozled look of someone totally discombobulated! It is the blank face of bafflement, the perplexed look of puzzlement.
This word is for when you haven’t got a clue, The shrugged shoulders when you realise that something has just gone way over your head, and is way beyond your grasp! A bit like the feeling you get when reading one of my posts!
I love reading your posts! You make me smile. And what a perfect word.

You did it, again! Another great word. I remember my dad using the word “discombobulated” when I was a kid. He has a very colorful vocabulary! 😉

“Flummoxed” is definitely a good choice. And your posts are always clear, no flummoxation going on 🙂

I can usually guarantee a laugh here… I’m never flummoxed by your posts… You don’t seem to blunder, words are never corny or dowdy (can words be dowdy?) but they are ample, if a little eccentric. sometimes. Now, I bet you’re flummoxed 🙄

Hey Cat, I am really impressed! That was so clever. In my opinion words can be dowdy, but not if you ‘sex them up a bit’ (not so subtle clue to tomorrow’s offering)! Well done 🙂

This one has a distinct aural appeal! 🙂

I like that, ‘aural appeal.’ Yes flummoxed is fun to say and is very easy on the ear. 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
