[quote=Austruck][quote=WHITBISSELL!]What about cattywampus? AKA "the wheels came off".[/quote]
Have heard it but don't usually use it. And, is there a variation on this that others might use? There's no "kittywampus," right? :D[/quote]

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?[/quote]
