to be dumbfound in a stupid like way.
Willard, are you stunned!?... yer stunned!
The hope of when turning age 21 you have a major glow up.
boy 1 “woah! she’s never looked so good before!”
boy 2 “that’s because she just turned 21 and had a 21 and stun!”
The process of three willing participants taking turns concussing, or “stunning”, one another in a circle, usually on rooftops or public spaces.
“Who have you been stun-boosting with lately?”
“I stun-boosted with a priest and a doctor the other day.”
“Oh nice, I stun-boost with my barber and the local engineer.”
Something that, if you didn't already see it coming, would actually blow your mind. Something you do see coming is never stunning, because even it had been an otherwise mind blowing action, which is a rare exception to most actions, rather than as common as annoying sports announcers make them sound, you still would have known your mind was going to be blown before it was blown, which would have eliminated any stun effect of the action. For example, a team that most people think would win a game isn't stunning, since no win is guaranteed, and there are times a team isn't playing anywhere near one hundred percent, the reasons (not excuses, but legitimate reasons) being endless, and they don't do well. It happens all the time, even in the playoffs or games some are more desperate to win than they already usually are due to the game being what they think of as urgent or important. In reality anything can happen, so something would actually have to be rare to really be stunning, since stunning is as overused a word as awesome. Nowadays people describe people or things that are not awesome at all, with nothing awesome about them, as awesome. People do the same thing with the word stunning, they describe the most plain, ordinary (and dull) things and people as stunning.
The bubbly girl always described herself and her own actions as stunning, as a defense mechanism, but she was actually a plain girl that didn't do a whole lot that was particularly stunning or even interesting. She was never really as angry, spirited, or tough as she thought she was, since she hadn't really been through enough real pain or adversity as a kid, and thought that rejection was the most painful thing that could happen to somebody.
Something that shocks you. An overused word these days, since writers, especially sports writers use it to describe ordinary events rather than extraordinary ones.
It would have been stunning had the Clippers won, not lost. The same way it is stunning when a team like the Cubs wins a world series instead of the same old Yankees every year, it is stunning because the Cubs were the opposite of the Yankees most of their existence, the team that hardly ever won, and were loved for the opposite reason as the Yankees.
