Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
(humorous) An embarrassing feeling that leaves a person confused..
Prophet of o'er-population, your ingenious calculation, Causeth discombobulation only in the anxious mind
This quality or state of not having your act quite together lacks its own word in the dictionary. It is something short of discombobulation, but the mild, mental chafing is irritating enough to demand a remedy.
What has changed since the time of Looney Tunes is the discombobulation of characters' faces. Eyeballs constantly bulge beyond normal proportion to show shock or jubilation; cheeks shrink, sag or even bend in shame, fatigue or anger. Each emotion is heightened, overemphasized with cubist contortions.
Use discombobulation when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.

The opposite depends on the specific sense.
Prophet of o'er-population, your ingenious calculation, Causeth discombobulation only in the anxious mind
