Any word that has a “bf” combination makes it into my book for being weird. I have heard of it before, but never really found a good opportunity to use it effectively.
“Obfuscate” is a transitive verb meaning 1. To darken or make obscure & 2. To confuse. You can change it into a noun as obfuscation, but I wouldn’t recommend using it after a glass of wine. It gets more difficult to pronounce.
“ I enjoy watching political debates but am annoyed by the rampant obfuscation.”

Wow, how did you come across this word?!? Well, I'm certainly more 'confuse' on how to pronounce this word:( Thanks for sharing.
