From 'Who Put the Ram in the Ramalangadingdong? (A Philological Study of the Origins of Spurious Bollocks Being Assimilated into Our Modern Vernacular) by Otto De Pickerwinkel
The rather more humble boozle was in use during the 16th Century but as our confusion grew in direct proportion to our technological innovations vis a vis the industrial revolution, it was felt that an uber boozling had become the endemic norm and needed a term to reflect the exacerbation of our modern sense of alienation. Thus bamboozled was coined. Similarly, 'wham thank you mam' was considered quite sufficient until the so-called permissive society arrived, to denote a hurried gratification of the procreational drive.

Spurious Bollocks was a villain in a Dickens novel, wasn't he?

BTW, I think spurious and specious may have been separated at birth, poor things.

"The amazing workload was too much for this small distribution company so every unit had to be sold to a more 'major' company, of course, they got the better end of the deal and so before we knew it, we were out of money and had to shut down, but it doesn't matter, it all worked out eventually. Ah the joy of theft! (laughs) but seriously... Mangoes torture files."

I boasted.
Afterwards, we all caught fire. It wasn't until world war II they put the two together. And thats how evil was defeated.

Sometimes I put my left shoe on my right foot. I still put my right shoe on my right foot as well.

There's mounting evidence Jack the Ripper may have been a sasquatch from the American northwest.

The highly venomous and carnivorous Bolivian 'Jungle Terrier' (canis fruitlupus) is almost single handedly threatening the very existence of the region's ancient Tootacotogo tribe. It is now not even considered safe to visit the ATM or cinema for fear of unprovoked attack from packs of these ferocious canines.
I urge you in the name of compassion therefore to send your unused frisbees to:
Chief Watanoob, Tootacotogo Cricket Club, Bolivia (smart dress essential, Karaoke on Thursdays)
Just remember, one frisbee can save a life today. (and you wouldn't want it back anyway if it doesn't)

My father helped the Bolivian guerratanos track and trap the 'devildog' as they called it-- it took fourteen days, nine squirrels, numerous garden tools, and two underage hookers from Tijuana but they did it. And let me say this to you dear friend: you're going to need more than frisbees.
