The word 'appalled' means taken aback, surprised etc.
Eg. I am appalled at the level of ignorance about the meaning of a simple world like 'appalled' shown by a student of English Literature.

Yo" is an American English slang interjection. It was highly popularized after being commonly used among Italian Americans and African Americans in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although often used as a greeting, like the word "hey", it has a wide range of other meanings that depend on the tone, context, and situation. "Yo" is often used in the Southern United States as a substitute for the response "Here" to acknowledge one's presence during a roll call. "Yo" has also come to be used as an exclamation at the end of a sentence, either to direct focus onto a particular individual or group, "That girl is hot, yo", or to strengthen meaning to a particular point, "This hot dog is good, yo!". The Japanese language sentence-final particle "yo" has approximately the same meaning, but is etymologically unrelated. "Yo" is being used as a gender neutral pronoun among children in Baltimore. This has also been studied at Johns Hopkins University.
