No one ever uses "befuddled" anymore.
It's sad when states of presentation usurp states of being.

Reilly, let's get out the old BUGLEMELON and play H-O-R-S-E-S-H-I-T.
I'm perplexed about befuddlement, as well.
There are plenty of synonyms, so that might clear it up.

Hmmm... some more possibilities presented in a climbing context:
inchoate endogenous impulses
toward a Bacchanalian Bohemian climber's gestalt
evince eleemosynary urges,
a Stentorian shout at my erstwhile ersatz employer,
bellicosity belying my beleaguered and bottoming bank account

Colloquy: a conversation, esp. about theology.
Their colloquy after his faux pas, his egregious sin, became thus:
"On belay."
"Climbing."
"Off belay."
"Belay off."
"Sorry I dropped the water bottle."
"Put me on belay, please."
"On belay."
"Climbing."
"O.K., but I'm still sorry."

I'm givin' you guys the last word, see?
Abuser-friendly. Must be underline causes for this.
And the Word was made flesh and he dwelt among us. John 1:14
Sabbath. Sabbatical, see?
Well, I'm a tumbler,
a literary man, see?
Hasta la vista!

Good one!
How about 'Theosophy'?
As in; the writer Phillip K Dick was obsessed with what he called "the 2/3/74 theosophy" concerning events in his life that occurred on that date, that followed him the rest of his life.

Word for April: Hadron.
Bonus: Snit.
http://www.inlander.com/spokane/big-bang/Content?oid=2286463
Excerpt from Particle Fever, solving the problem of "Where Did Ron Go?":
"We had Ron at a loss for words, finally, so he took off in a snit; but, like in the movies, he collided with a cute little baryon on the way out and particle history was altered for all time."
This happened on April 1, theosophists.

Sometimes dictionaries (at least on-line ones) barely do justice to a word.

"Letter box."
Definition: A thin, narrow-mouthed slit in the rock that is often horizontal, like the slot in front doors though which a mailman slides letters. Letterboxes are often deep enough to accommodate the full length of your fingers.
Synonym: mail slot
Are there any examples of REAL boîte aux lettres out there in the ST?
Reilly?
