"LOST FOR WORDS"
You are lost for words if you're so surprised by something that you can't think of anything to say.
Example: I've never seen our boss lost for words before, but when John called him a fool, he just stood there staring at him. I don't think anyone has ever said that to him before.
Quedarse sin palabras.
Example sentences:
- After hearing the news, Kerry was lost for words / Después de escuchar las noticias, Kerry se quedó sin palabras.
- Aisha was lost for words when she heard she'd won the lottery / Aish se quedó sin palabras cuando escuchó que había ganado la lotería.
Additional examples:
- Chris was lost for words at Kathy's incredible rudeness.
- Mary was lost for words when she was awarded the prize.
