Bamboozled- Is a regular word in my vocabulary because there are circumstances where admitting I was tricked is just so ridiculous, I might as well be the one to start laughing at myself.
Flabbergasted- Is a regular word in my vocabulary because its one of the few words my autistic ass can successfully incorporate the use of tone in. I can succinctly mock distinct groups as with nuanced meaning to match. It can be used to mock the aggressive and antagonistic evangelical/purist/cherry picking religious people I experienced in North America. Yet It hits differently when used against the stubborn and unreasonable older generations who stand on outdated values, morals, and standards without regard to kindness, change, evidence, or reality.
Discombobulated: I have ADHD, Autism, Bi-polar disorder, and complex hormonal disorders. Discombobulated is the ONLY word I feel fits when my brain fails and competency falls. This word is in my medical charts, its my go to, if it were a person it'd get a christmas card every year.
Shenanigans: Common word, what else are my brothers, friends, and I supposed to get up to? Or anyone with a sense of humour? Everyone needs to get up to shenanigans.
Cattywampus: This is my first exposure to this word. I dont like its mouth feel. It feels like an insult.
Lollygag: Old people and young kids love this word. I use it casually to amuse both my elders and kids I've babysat. Its the word equivalent of handing out a butterscotch candy.
Malarky: Not as common as saying "bullcrap" but definitely the backup when there's kids around.
Kerfuffle: Regular usage word. Teenage boys have kerfuffles when they need to work things out. Drunks have kerfuffles when they've had too much. Kids have kerfuffles on the playgrounds. Kerfuffles are small fights that are more communication or bonding that an actual fight. Some kerfuffles can be serious, but those are under the umbrella of "big communication without suitable verbal skills" kerfuffles don't require cops or punishments. They're small necessary aspects of socializing and communicating.
Brouhaha: I dont use this word.
Nincompoop: This has been a regular staple in my lexicon since I was 5 and I still use it with my fully grown brother. He answers to it.
Skedaddle: This is a common word in EVERYONES vocabulary where I live. You can't get up to shenanigans or tomfoolery if you don't know how to skedaddle! Not to mention avoiding chores, boring situations, or unwanted trouble!
Tomfoolery: I don't use it much, but it's common in the language where I live
