    3. I too remember "catywampus." For something crooked we used "leaning towards fisher's." Does anyone know if this is a PD expression? Maybe just one of my ancester's live next door to Fisher's and crooked things "leaned toward Fisher's." > How about the word "WOPPERJAWED" for something that is crooked?
