We've all heard of it and seen it and now there's a term for it!

One of my favorite words! We use it all of the time. Must be a ‘southern thang’. ‘Cept we say it like, “Discombobalate.” ;-)

BTW, on pronunciation: I think the first “b’ should be nearly silent if not effectively so.

Also, now that I think about it, Discombobamulation — while it may be used of generic manipulation of the President’s name as in the case of this thread — should probably specifically refer to such efforts in the service of trying to discombobamulate people.

Thus coining the term is not technically a form of discombobamulation. [/lawyering]

Here’s a new term recently inspired by slightly different circumstances:

dismonbobotulate

dis - com - o-bot - u - late

Frustration inspired by trying to debate an O-bot.

For example: I’m discombobotulated and fed up with trying to debate fundamental Laws with this guy!!!
