Now you have.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThe thread is about 'Words going out of fashion'! Just because you used it in a sentence doesn't mean that the word was ever in fashion to go out. Unless of course it is an English thing! 😉
You are an Ultracrepidarian.
Now you have.

@great-big-stees saidNonplussed, unsure about what to say, think, or do. A state I often find myself in as well GBS.
I always liked the word "flummoxed", which is a state I often find myself in...lately.
@wolfgang59
Mugwump, now there's a word for ya. A person who remains undecided or neutral (as in politics).
@the-gravedigger saidI love the word swell. Still use it from time to time.
Swell
Cripple
Q: How ya doin'?
A: Not swell.
@very-rusty saidDo you have any friends who are retarded?
Cripple is certainly a no, no unless you are handicapped yourself then you can call each other Cripples. I had friends who did it all the time when greeting each other.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIn other words he was VR'd
Yes, I love flummoxed too!
"He appeared flummoxed and somewhat discombobulated," is perhaps the perfect sentence.

@mudfinger saidI don't believe retarded is used anymore either!
Do you have any friends who are retarded?
An important change
The description “mentally retarded” has been used for years to refer to people with medical conditions that cause below-average intelligence and difficulty learning daily living skills. But such people can have a wide range of abilities, so they are now more commonly referred to as “people with intellectual disabilities.” This is similar to the Special Olympics athletes being known as “people with disabilities.”
