Discombobulate

Have you ever been discombobulated? I’ve experienced this feeling from time to time but most of the time I am quite combobulate.
 
Discombobulate, from 1834, is a slang American English term similar to other fanciful mock-Latin terms created at that time; e.g., confusticae, absquatulate, spifflicate, and others. To be discombobulated is to be upset or embarrassed by something.
