kitty-cornered, catty-cornered or cater-cornered, yes hear it all the time and it's even in the dictionary. But, cattywampus or derivatives there-of, ain't heard of it.  :)

Heard a West VA gal use the term "wobberjawed".  Never heard it before.  She meant something out of line, crooked, twisted, warped. She was referring to a cattle guard on a farm lane, it had become wobberjawed over the years.  ???

I've heard a similar term years ago, "Whoppyjawed", used in the same way.

From MSN encarta:

catawampus
 
 
 
 
cat·a·wam·pus [ kąttə wómpəss ]


adjective 
 
Definition:
 
diagonal: in a diagonal position or arrangement

 


adverb 
 
Definition:
 
diagonally: diagonally

 
[Mid-19th century. Origin ?]

I liked Danny's definition better  :)
 
I have heard this term used a lot in my shorter-than-some-of-your's lifetime.  Fairly common in hoosierland, which is in the midwest, which is where all the news anchors come to practice their accent so they can be understood by the masses.  :D

Still, as hard as they try, they give themselves away by not being able to prounounce Kissimmee, Eau Gallie, Weewahitchka, Loxahatchee, Apalachicola, Valdosta, Vidalia or Vienna.  There is plenty around here to trip up a  tourister  new person.    :D

Kinda like Arkansas.

It's R-Can-Saw  not  R-Kansas.

Gotta use a little drawl do it. ;D

Yep, I think so  Terra Hout  like the hoe for digging potatoes.

Still, I'd go look up how to pronounce Vienna, Georgia before I accepted a Television announcing job in the area.  :D :D

My little sister lived in Vienna for a couple of years.  And I played football and baseball against them when I was in high school.  I never knew any other pronunciation.  :D

And as for "ARRRR - kansas", I think Les Miles found out what those folks thought of him on Friday night (after he spoke it that way during an interview).  :D

If only Kentucky could have gotten the job done Saturday........... :( :( :( :( :'( :'(
