I just finished reading Tom Clancy's two newest books. In one of them (I think it was "Locked On") he twice used the word "gobsmacked." I thought I understood from the context what that meant, and I was anxious to use it somewhere. But then I looked it up and found that it means, "so surprised that you're speechless." That's not exactly what I thought it meant, but I instantly found a really fun way to use it in a novel that I'm just finishing up. (I actually have to go back and redo a couple of things, but I think it's going to add that extra bit of sparkle to the book.) I'm anxious for you to see what I've done with it. (I think you'll be gobsmacked!)
