"Nonplussed" is one of those hard words to use correctly. Did you really mean "surprised and confused?" That's what nonplussed actually means.

That was the only definition that I was acquainted with. I didn't know that surprised and confused were even associated with this word.

Don't get me started on "decimated" and what it doesn't mean ...

... gives only the "British" definition of "nonplussed" (which goes back to at least 1582).

Opposite meanings ultimately render the word useless. Kinda like "nervy." A favorite of soccer announcers worldwide, it theoretically has a differently (and opposite) meaning when used by a Yank.
