Recombobulation is a word... at least according to the Milwaukee Airport.

I have it on pretty good authority that you still can be very much “whelmed,” exclusively in Europe 💁♂️

The young generation growing up now loves to un-suffix words! They actually do say “chalant” and “whelmed”.

I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?

Yet we have the recombobulation area here at MKE airport. The sign reminds you that we are Wisconsinites.

My favorite 1800s thing is replacing "ss" in words with "ff". I worked in the archives when I went to Rensselaer. In the like 1920s they made Renffelaer merch to make fun of that old timey trend 🤣

Modern one; from a calendar of nonsense words. Furble. To go through the queue line ropes, especially when the queue is empty. I may be the only person who uses it regularly.

So I can’t be recombulated, but I can be discombobulated more than once.
