v. mIS
Confused/The molting Fairy/I.R Gentlemans was the fourth episode of
the first season of the Animated Television series Cow
and Chicken.
severe mental confusion of a
degree considered pathological usually
refers to
loss of
orientation (ability to
place oneself correctly in
the world by time, location,
and personal identity),
and often memory (ability to
correctly recall previous events or
learn new material).
confusion as
such is
not synonymous with inability to
focus attention,
although severe inability to
focus attention can cause, or
greatly contribute to, confusion. Together,
confusion and inability to
focus attention (both of
which affect judgment)
are the twin symptoms of a
loss or
lack of
normal brain function (mentation).
confusus, inconditus
[L:39] A

clarity and distinctness;
every confused presentation is an
indistinct one,
although not every indistinct presentation is confused.
