non-plussed

non•plussed/nänˈpləst/ Adjective: 1. (of a person) Surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react. 2. (of a person) Unperturbed. One is always describing the nature of others. You have heard the expressions “powder-keg.” “makes coffee nervous,” and “cool as a cucumber.” Add NON-PLUSSED to your word base. This is an excellent choice for describing a persona who is a stoic. Things can be chaotic all around them, but they maintain their equanimity. Who comes to mind?
