|
Thank you Iciar for the honor of being chosen as the winner of the WOD game. I came across the following word and found it interesting Cattywampus. So friends, let �s see the funny, interesting and or amusing daffynitions you can come up with. Remember we don �t want the real meaning but one inspired by the word. Ed |

A cattywampus is a mythical creature which has the head and tail of a cat and the body of a slim, prissy Victorian woman. Folklore has it that they would appear after you lost a loved one, to comfort you. They mewl and purr and roll around on the floor. Essentially good, they turn nasty very quickly if you pull their tail. But since you have to lift their skirt to find it, it �s not surprising. |

Cattywampus refers to the addiction to squeeze pimples, blackheads, sebaceous cysts....
First time I heard this word, was at the dermatologist when the sadistic nurse treating my acne, said:
"Cathy wants pus.... more and more pus"

Cattywampus is wampum (Native American money) paid to Europeans by Native Americans in order to purchase a tame cat. |
