Shy/Asshole Confusion 

Coined by Larry David in the "The Acupuncturist" episode of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Shy/Asshole Confusion is when one mistakes a shy person's quiet demeanor for that of an asshole.
Larry: I don't know why you call him an asshole. He's not an asshole, he's just shy.

Cheryl: No, he's not shy. He thinks he's smarter than everbody else and he sits there and he judges and he-

Larry: No, he doesn't, he's just shy! You've got shy/asshole confusion, my friend.

Confucius

Postcoital Confusion 

The confused state that one is in directly following an orgasm. In this state things can be said, agreed to, or promised that are not really meant. It is Postcoital Bliss with a variable.
Larry asked me if I loved him and in my postcoital confusion I said yes.

Confucius 

One of the most influential thinkers of all time. He lived durring the Spring and Autum Period, durring the decline of Zhou China. Confucius tried and failed to obtain political office in his lifetime, and his greatest legacy is in the Analacets which his diciples compiled after his death.

Confucius stresses a simple life of filial piety and devotion to ritual. Like most great thinkers, his ideas would eventually be mangled beyond recognition by those seeking traditional justification for misogyny, xenophobia and a number of other nasty concepts espoused by Neo-Confucianists.
Confucius said, "The gentleman is not a tool".

Confucious clearly saw the rise of A&F.

Target Confusion 

Occurs in dialogue. When someone says something so idiotic, there are so many possible jokes you could make; you don't know which one to go for, and end up saying nothing.
1 - "That tooth still buggin' ya?"
2 - "Yeah, i had to get an implant the other day. You ever had an uh, an implant in your mouth?"
1 - O_o "I think that's what they call Target Confusion. So many jokes i could have made, i just didn't know which one to go for."

Organized Confusion

Messy, splintered into 1000 pieces, all over the place, yet meticulously together and beautifully chaotic. A description of pivitol points in the music of the legendary band Nirvana. "Organized Confusion" is the name of the demo recorded by Kurt Cobain in December 1982 at his Aunt Mari Earl's house. Today is February 20, 2015. Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967, and died by self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 5, 1994. He would have been 48 years old today.
Equipped with his electric guitar, Earl's bass, an empty pink Samsonite suitcase and a set of wooden spoons, 15 year old Kurt Cobain set about laying down tracks on Earl's TEAC A-2340 recorder. He named the resulting demo Organized Confusion.
