At the airport this morning when we went to drop our Polish friends off and they gave me a present for my birthday this Friday and asked if I would open it, I was totally gobsmacked as its the new mobile phone I've had my eye on for a month or so, they are lovely generous people but I never expected a gift like that, gobsmacked I am.

I am gobsmacked everytime I log on her, some of the questions are incredible and then so are some of the answers. It used to be an interesting site, but it is getting disappointing.

I am never "gobsmacked" on principle as I detest this expression, it is so cliched. People use to describe winning the lottery and when they hear a relative has died. One of the father's of the murdered girls in Ipswich used it to describe his feeling on hearing his daughter was working as a prostitute, it seemed so wrong in that context. It is both over-used and vulgar in tone, and displays a chronic lack of imagination.
Alternatives include:
agape, agog, alarmed, amazed, appalled, astonished, astounded, awestruck, confounded, dismayed, dumbfounded, frightened, overwhelmed, shocked, startled, stunned, surprised, terrified, thunderstruck.

Around the early seventies in teenage discos in Norwich...usually by Lowestoft hard boys
Agree with you Chris...what an odd term to describe 'amazed' - was it not a saying of socio-economic C2DE's until (at a stroke) it was eventually used even by 'poshies'
