Weird Words Part 5 – Bumfuzzle

Posted bystephc2021Posted inCCS, Creative coping strategies, Weird WordsTags:, ,

Welcome to another Weird Words entry on my blog.

This week I wanted to find a word that was a bit of fun. My blog posts and EVERYTHING in the media is just terrible at the moment, and that’s seeping into our daily life at home.

Sometimes we need a silly break from all the seriousness, so this is my attempt…

**********

Bumfuzzle

The Merriam Webster website defines ‘Bumfuzzle’ as…

bum·​fuz·​zled | \ ˈbəm-ˌfə-zəld  \

Definition of bumfuzzled

US, informal

: in a state of bewilderment : confused or perplexed

Merriam Webster Website, www,merriam-webster.com, accessed August 2022

For example

“Don’t forget to put her name on the card. She’ll just end up bumfuzzled.”.

It’s a lovely word with an element I always enjoy – a double ‘z’.

Thanks for reading! 💜
