Daily instances of improper assembly of alphabetical characters resulting in non-words which are used in verbal "communication."
Discombooberated was used by Rod Serling in the 1960 Twilight Zone episode "Mr. Bevis", Season 1 Episode 33 intro!
Lol I just watched the ep it made me look up the word and I find this comment and you are spot on
I like the word. I'm going to start using it.
It was later used by Ray Walston in 1963 or 64, 'My Favorite Martian,' season 2 episode 13.
3:36 Cavender uses the word twice too, same series. I wonder if it was used incorrectly in lieu of discombobulate
I used discombooberated as early as the '70s and most seemed to understand it.
