A stupid word that was made up whilst playing a game of "Catchphrase". The contestant was adamant it was a word, the quiz-master didn't think so and said no. The contestant then went into a massive sulk over it and still believes it is a word to this day.
You're a gobsmacker

We were utterly gobsmacked when we spotted John at a restaurant on Friday night, after having attended his funeral that very morning!

Completely dumbfounded speechlessastounded. From the Irish/Scottish/Northern England word "gob" meaning "mouth".
I think it comes from the action of clapping your hand over your mouth when you are utterly surprised to the extent that you are unable to speak.

To be completely dumbfounded or shocked. That I know of, its origins are Irish.
I have know idea what a "gob" is or why it is common practice to smack somebody with one when they are shocked.
It seems like a rude thing to do, though.
