    Now I'm confuzzled because the dust bunnies under my bed don't make me think at all, except to wonder if it's someone coming or going.

    Dee ~ It has already happened...My friends use it all the time now and I am seeing it appear on the internet through my personal e-mails after I explain the term to the recepients. Hopefully one day, the dictionary police will come and get it for me and publish it. Thanks for that wonderful comment on this creation. Gregg

    Confuzzeled, huh ... interesting word..now, since this is a newly created word and will be going into your blockbuster new dictionary, I presume it will become an ordinary word to be used freely by anyone speaking the English language (or any other language for that matter) and can be spoken, written and sung by anyone educated enough to read and/or write.
    School children will have it on their spelling tests, in their language lessons, it will be bandied around the cafeteria during lunch breaks, used and misused by all levels of society. I bet it even gets into prize winning poetry on this very site and used frequently by confuzzeled politicians.
    Geeshe, Gregg.. see what you've gone and done??!!

    LOl, what a fun entry for the contest. Good luck

    Hehe, I like it! I'm gonna have to start using that word, lol. It's nice to read something 'not-of-the-norm' for a change. Brilliant.

    While this is not at all the way I expected one to use option numero two, it is a wonderful way! Combining the form of a definition with poetry is no easy task, and your expertise has once again, pulled you through. Your natural nack for writing is very apparent in this poem, congratulations!

    It is with great regret that I need to inform you
    Your request for your pic to sit beside
    A definition I created has been approved
    But please -- tell me dear, with attitude aside
    Where in the hell is my pic going to lie?

    Do you think it's because men, in general, think literally (linear)? There's something almost tangible about this word, or perhaps onomatopoeic. . .(the brain fizzles).
