| Dec 1, 2016 at 16:25 | comment | added | John Feltz | Are you looking for a catch-all term? Because I think mild physical surprise (startled when an insect flies in your face) and mild intellectual surprise (stumped for a moment when someone asks a strange question) are quite different things. | |
