If you are combobulated, you are not confused about your goals, all is in order. Discombobulated on the other hand is stressful confusion. (what no one has ever used that word before?) An old man and his grandson are sitting on the steps, what specificity or direction is needed? They are sharing a moment. End of story.
Hey Tenneseean. My parents came from there years and years ago, and I knew exactly what discombobulated meant. Unfortunately, I’ve reached a stage in life where I feel discombobulated much of the time. Where are my keys? What did I come in this room for? Why am I looking in the refrigerator? What am I supposed to do today? I know it was something.

What does “combobulated” mean? That’s a new word for me. And a big one too I might add.

There is lots of nothing to be done, so you’d best be cracking.

Pre-mediated goals in place. Direction and action is needed. Be specific. Try to reach them if none the less.

I’m certain that Earl wants to do nothing today, but does Nelson? I’m sure he wants to do something as long as it’s fun.

They are combo-bulated, not to be confused with mono-bulated.

“Combobulated” IS NOT in the merriam-webster dictionary online via the Internet.

Earl gives great advice and models it too. Now they are combobulated and also couth.

Lovely thing about the English language… it is always evolving. New words appear and old words change meanings or vanish.
