Thread Name: BS: how do you define - nonplused
Subject: RE: BS: how do you define - nonplused
I did something I haven't done in ages...since technology made answers a few Google clicks away.....I pulled out my 15 pound copy of Webster's New International Dictionary- 1950.

It gives nonplused first, but says "or nonplussed"

nonplus n, "A state in which nothing more can be done, or which baffles reason or confounds judgement: inability to proceed or decide."
