@wolfgang59 saidAmerican Regional English Dictionaries are seen in the office of editor Joan Houston Hall on March 3, 2009, in Madison, Wis. The Dictionary of American Regional English founded by Cassidy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is nearing completion of its final volume of text covering S to Z. A new federal grant will help the volume get published next year and allow the dictionary that linguists consider a national treasure to prepare to go online.

Yes, I love flummoxed too!
"He appeared flummoxed and somewhat discombobulated," is perhaps the perfect sentence.
