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 

(Not literally) a confused person even though this person probably should be as cognizant a famous Chinese philosopher

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.

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.
