Pigsticker Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 "Don't look at it *hit* *it*!" All right Sir, last time I thought I knew what you were typing I got moderated TP. Still am. It feels like a jersey hug from yuz guys. ( Beware moderator, I might be getting triicked here). Cattywompus, never used it, based on a lack of simple Latin I'd say disorganized, disheveled or an agitated appearance. I will check how I did on Internet and post an immediate reason why if I'm wrong. Never ever used it but I feel oddly confident, like whan my gas tank get so hot so close to the forge. It feels so peaceful Tough reading fefinition but think I was close!! That's why the wrights we're to embarrassed to try Ohio flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigsticker Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Update... My more rural NC wife got cattyrumpus immediately. This mornings brilliant deduction (still un-internetted) is that wumpus has to be related to rompus, romping or romp. R's seem difficult to pronounce for mid to Eastern Europeans. (All wild guesses) Tx for everyone's help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 12 hours ago, ThomasPowers said: cattywampus I've always understood it to mean: not according to the original plan, typically in a wild and unexpected fashion. As in: "I expected to get there at 9 PM, but it has all gone catawampus". Of course I'm hardly a southerner, so I could be way off base.

Pigsticker Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Sounds right. I think if I ever heard it firsthand, it would have been related to a messy room. Noun or adjective. I knew a messy kid once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
