Fleetwood Mac carries on despite decades of drama and membership flux

[bombaysaffires]

a classic case of not knowing what a word actually means. The writer uses it thinking it means "unfazed":

"Many fans are nonplused by this latest shake-up. Fleetwood Mac’s show at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday is officially sold out, though tickets are available, at a premium, on the secondary market. Show time is 8 p.m.; there is no opening act."


when it actually means the exact opposite:
