Question: who the hell decides to add these words to the dictionary

[OwlCapone]

Like the word flabbergasted or bamboozled, i mean ive never heard anyone say "hey this guy bamboozledme for my gaia gold"

Like comon now

And the word flabbergasted makes me think of a white fat person taking a mean shit on a public restroom );

When I was a kid I had a cassette tape that had a song about the word flabbergasted. Is where I learned it.

I think the only person I've ever heard use flabbergasted was my grandmother talking about church and how some old ladies kept gossiping about her

I use bamboozled because it sounds funny.

Well they are part of jargon that is currently only used by the educated or one emulating Shakespearean speech.

"by the educated" = people who want to sound educated by using words they know nobody uses anymore

More or less, someone out of touch with modern colloquialisms might as well. Depends on the environment they've come from.

The neckbeard environment, obviously.
