I haven't really been following this in any sort of detail! So much else has been going on, and to be honest, I never thought we'd get much in the way of results anyway. So now I'm still in shock!

The great thing about Mueller is, he doesn't leak. So this was not really out there as a possibility. (So everyone else is banjaxed, too.)

(Despite Merriam-Webster's attribution of it to Ireland/Eire, it's also in common usage in Scotland.)

whoops! Re: Simon Pegg and Jenna Coleman not being in the room to explain it...

I had known it (and used it here) as "really freakin' surprised", as opposed to broken, so I will remove that meaning from my vocabulary.

If other people in your speech community use the word that way, then that's a valid definition even if the dictionary hasn't caught up yet.
