Flummox

flummox (flmks)

verb
1. To baffle or otherwise confuse.
Speaking in acronyms flummoxed the conversation. GFY can stand for Good For You, but can also mean Go Fuck Yourself; OM can refer to your Old Man or a very peaceful state of mind, the two of which often having little in common; and TTTT can look like your cat is leaning on your keyboard, when you really mean to say These Things Take Time. Acronyms make it difficult to understand what you're trying to say.

Synonyms: addle, baffle, becloud, befuddle, cloud, clutter, confound, daze, discomfit, faze, fluster, fog, frustrate, fuddle, mislead, muddle, nonplus, obscure, perplex, puzzle, rattle.
