noun: The hypnotic, speechless state of absolute confusion, into which two or more persons may find themselves in. This is usually upon the mutual realisation that every party involved in a scenario is indeed baffled.
Alternatively, the term is sometimes used when defining or describing one's state of mind. This is easily noticeable as the subject portrays certain, telling facial expressions, for example; the 'jaw drop,' the 'squinted eyes and pressed lips' combination, the 'eyes wide eyebrow raise' or the infamous 'about to speak, doesn't know what to say, ends up looking like a goldfish with their mouth wide open.'

In the usual sense of mutual bafflement:
"Did anyone understand what just happened?"
Silence, a few jaws drop and squinted eyes, nothing unexpected.
"Umm guys…is everyone else in total Baffletility right now,"
Usually followed by a chorus of "Dude.." or "Woah…"
To describe someone's state of mind:
A young lad has just found out that his parents are in fact related, sits quietly, doesn't quite know what to do, mouth slightly open and staring into blank space. No-one should interfere at this point…
"Son, are you in Baffletility right now…"
In this case the silence would be expected to last for 10-12 minutes before utter breakdown ensues.

Get the baff up mug.A last name of Italian origin. Baffas are usually very artistic and generally try to pursue a career in art. They are ruled by their emotions and can spiral out of control if left alone with their thoughts. Generally Baffas have a great sense of humor and a tendency to talk your ear off when something is on their mind. Unfortunately Baffas do not tend to have good finances due to being artists and emotional wrecks. With that being said, they do make amazing friends and will do whatever they can for you. Having one in your household amounts to owning an indentured servant.
