Linguistic musing

Could the state of being flabbergasted be termed "flabbergasm"?

Sorry:

To put (a person) in such confusion that he does not for the moment know what to do or say; to astonish utterly, to confound.

Hence flabbergastation, the action of flabbergasting; the state of being flabbergasted.

Well, I suppose flabbergastation is almost as good.

*giggle* I liked your suggestion. It was cute. :-)
