N.B. I am a fan of Rowan Atkinson's "Black Adder" series (though globally he may be better known as Mr Bean), but remembering one particular episode in which he used words to Dr Johnson (Robby Coltrane) that were difficult to comprehend, I looked-up Discombobulation and found this YouTube video of his.
