Phenomenal! The Small Book of Big Words by Jonathan Meres

DISCOMBOBULATED Pronounced ~ dis-com-bob-u-lated. Means ~ thrown into confusion. As in ~ the lion is discombobulated by the skateboarding wildebeest. And ~ my parents are discombobulated when I suddenly start speaking Swedish.* A bit like ~ befuddled, bamboozled. Don’t confuse with ~ anything. If you like this word, try ~ nincompoop. * This won’t make any sense if you are actually Swedish.
Jonathan Meres was born in Nottingham and spent many years sailing the seven seas. He gave it up to be a rock star but ended up being an ice cream man (and occasional comedian) instead. As a comedian he won the Time Out award and was nominated for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1993. He is the author of the successful YO DIARY series for Picadilly Press.
