Lena Olin's Mona Demarkov scares me more than Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter.

I've always heard kitty-corner, never heard of catty-corner until just now. But I can't say if that's a regional thing or not?

I had no idea where you were going with "kitty" corner, until ready, "catty." That said, I've only heard it as catty-cornerED. I'm in the southeastern-most orner of good ole countrified Alley Bammy.

Another one: "jury-rigged" versus "jerry-rigged." I use "jury-rigged."

I'm thinking I like "cow tailed" better, though.
