- Discombulated 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...
