And the word of the day is...
Today I was reading an article about date labeling and food safety, and I came across a very unfamiliar word... FLUMMOXED. Do you know what it means?
According to the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary:
flummox \ˈflə-məks, -miks\
Is a transitive verb of unknown origin that means confuse.
Some of its synonyms are:
Addle, baffle, bamboozle, beat, befog, befuddle,bemuse, bewilder, buffalo, confound, discombobulate,disorient,confuse, fox, fuddle, get, gravel, maze,muddle, muddy, mystify, perplex, pose, puzzle, vex.
Used in a sentence:
An actor who's easily flummoxed by any changes in the script, can not work with this scriptwriter.
Great! I had never seen that word, thanks for sharing! :)
