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.

conFURsion 

The process of turning one into a furry, basically conversion with a spin. A rather unpleasant spin.
Guy #1 - Oh boy, I sure hope I don’t turn into a furry. I really wouldn’t like experiencing conFURsion.
Furry - Well I’ll show you why being a furry is great!
Guy #1 - *is now a furry* wow what a weird coincidence, totally didn’t see that coming

confusionship 

A phenomenon when a couple of interacting people have neither a well defined friendship nor an FWB nor a romantic relationship and thus their attraction is still undefined to them both, yet they're definite about defining it as soon as possible.
The state of confusion before defining your sort of relationship with the person.
We were in a confusionship, but eventually deconfused ourselves and got romantically involved.

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.

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."
