Flabbergast

Flabbergast

<flah-bah-gahst>

astonish, surprise; astound

fill with wonder and amazement.

The flabbergasted boy screamed and ran away.

I was flabbergasted when the magician made the cow fly.

Memory trick: Our FLAB jumps like GAS when we giggle from surprise.

Used at work:
I am flabbergasted we made the deadline. I thought we would miss it.
