Catawampus

The word Catawampus is often used to indicate something out of alignment or askew. Bud Woodruffs CATAWAMPUS, attempts to capture both meanings, with each variation quite opposite the ones closest to it; the theme being like an Indian lady doomed to live as a mountain lion, the first variation like a large, ferocious cat on the prowl, and then your own imagination can take over for the next two.
