Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday when we get to explore a weird, wonderful or just downright wacky word. The one I have chosen this week has a wonderful sound to it which is rather pleasing on the ear! It is a word that still gets plenty of use (at least by me), but still deserves to be the focus of attention.
Flummoxed. This is a mixed-up, muddled-up word indeed; baffling and bewildering, confused and confounded. It can be puzzling and perplexing, not sure what is going on, kind of word, being all at sea, or at sixes and sevens.
This word is spaced out, shot to pieces, dazed and discombobulated, not to mention befuddled and bemused. It pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment.
I’ve been spending the last three months flummoxed , Judy. In fact, thinking about it, I’ve been flummoxed most of my life!! Hah!

They are good old-fashioned phrases that are seriously underused! 🙂

Great choice. Think I’m feeling the same. Except I really need an excellent recipe for bread pudding. Do you have one?

Judy E Martin
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.
