BS: Yook-words - another game for all

Inspired by the OZ-Words thread last month, I think it would be fun to do more. The idea is to change one letter and create a new meaning. I don't mind if you cheat a bit and add an extra letter or change two, as long as the original word is still vaguely recognisable.

So here we go. I like it, I don't much care if no-one else does!

Perflexed - the state of mind when confronted with a box of electrical cables that yesterday were neatly wrapped and stacked, but today resemble a snake orgy.

Cornival - a festive procession of cheesy looking floats.
