I know a lady that keeps using the word "flusterated," a confusion of the words "frustrated" and "flustered." It drives me crazy. In matters of confusion, I want to be the one doing the confusing.

Oh, that's not bad. I like confusilated, a combination between confused and...Well...Nothing in particular...Ilat, I suppose. It's my own personal invention, that...Or no...Maybe it was someone else's...I forget. Regardless, it can generate quantities of confusion, though it can sometimes be even more confusing to not say anything and just assume the other person knows what it was you didn't say.

Discombobulate - "to throw into confusion, upset" It does have the notation that it is slang.

Of course. If we could somehow manage to fit "groovy" in there somewhere, it could be the most funkooleristic word ever.

Right. There it is. In the dictionary. Right between aardvark and abacus. I didn't have room for a definition, but hopefully people will get the idea.
