You are adding to Cattywampus. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • Bless your heart, that shelf’s gone all cattywampus. One more screw and a level, and maybe it’ll stop leaning like it’s tired.
  • After the storm everything in the yard was cattywampus, the lawn chairs in the rose bushes, the trampoline against the fence, and somehow my granddad hat in the neighbour pool.
  • The new bookshelf went up cattywampus despite three hours of measuring, three trips to the hardware store, and one heated discussion with my brother-in-law about which way is north.
  • I hung that picture myself and now it's all cattywampus, so don't look at it too long or you'll start leaning too.
  • We hit one pothole and the whole back seat went cattywampus with bags, fries, and my cousin's iced tea in the floorboard.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
