~catawampus~
askew; awry, Dictionary.com
Don’t you love saying this word? Just as it’s spelled. Take a minute to say it out loud. Pronouncing this word seems to take your whole mouth, tongue and jaw to get it out in the open. Say it again and let it just leisurely flow out across your tongue and teeth and then what happens? You smile. Yep, I bet you did.

The dictionary spelled this word as cattywampus and catawampous. I guess how you say or spell it depends on the region where you reside. This word is also associated with kitty-cornered or as some folks say katty-corner which means diagonally across from a place. If you're familiar with the high-jinx of cats/kitties and how lively they can be, you can probably imagine how a cat could make a situation go awry with their antics.
Are you familiar with the word, catawampus? Do you say kitty-corner or katty-corner or is it a new expression for you? Please leave your comments below.
