The word itself makes sounds as if you are unfeeling or uncaring about something, apathetic. Or at least it does in my mind. LOL.
It does have a sort of a negative connotation, ditionary.com says “More recently, nonplussed has been used to mean “indifferent or unexcited,” a contradictory second meaning.”
OMG
I KNEW IT! I was pretty sure that the times I’ve read this word it was using with this meaning.
Thank you, Edy!
Never heard of that word before! I’ll start using it when talking about series and movies hahaha.
There will be lots of new interesting words here. Stay tuned!
I read this word in a fanfic once and forgot about it! Love seeing it once again haha
Glad you found each other again!
Interesting word! What it comes to my mind is “surprised”, “confused”, and not certain how to react. For example: “The inexperienced teenage driver was nonplussed when his car began to slide on the ice.”
Besides nonplussed, she was certainly terrified. Great sentence, Andrea!
