Thanks Douglas. I �m glad you liked my daffynition! ...And the new word is: DISCOMBOBULATED You know the rules. No dictionary definitions. Be witty, be amusing... the most imaginative wacky suggestion will be the winner! |

In Spanish, when something is broken, or doesn �t work properly, we say it is DESCOMpuesto, BOBULATED = when someone/thing is all "wobbly"  .... Long story short: Once while taking a walk, I came upon a garage sale and I thought I found a treasure, my very own robot maid, someone (thing) to do my housework, and all those tiresome chores I hate to do!!! But..... ohhhhhhhhh! no wonder it was on sale!!!! It was DISCOMBOBULATED!!! End of story: I was never able to fix it!!!  |

I could get it if it was disco-bombulate (i. e. bombard your neighbours with disco music) or disco-mobulate (i. e. create a flash mob of disco dancers) but discombobulate is just baffling me...Oh! I finally got it! discomobulate - discontinue communication through mobile phone - that �s the punishment your mom gives you when you �ve exceeded your monthly payment for mobile communication  who cares if there�s one extra letter. (I �ve been watching too much Malcolm in the Middle lately) Sophia

The medical community was flabbergasted. When Dr. Fingleheimer was asked how it was possible for the comb to have given birth, he simply replied, �Dis comb obulated.� |

DISCOMBOBULATEDAfter going to the disco, Bob was rather dizzy, with his head going round and round, up and down.

Discombobulated is when you wake up after a hangover: I woke up, I had to go out early... But, I looked myself into the mirror and I was discombulated... Which is when no comb could do its job... I had to go to the hair dresser after that... |
