Cattywhompus
Non-notable slang word. Delete. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not worthy of move to Wiktionary either. KeithD 12:05, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as a neologism. Just because some non-notable guy at some school used it once in the entire history of the world doesn't mean it's suddenly an encyclopedic concept.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 16:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment This word has a number of spelling variants (catawampus seems the most prevalent). The online dictionaries I consulted seemed pretty uncertain as to etymology. VisibleInk 17:23, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete slang dicdef. JamesBurns 07:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete dicdef. But it is worthy of a Wiktionary entry; my family and others that I know have been using this word since I was a child. Tygertyger 17:18, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Change the spelling to the more conventional "catawampus" if you like, but it is a good word to include in Wikiworld. Oh, and p.s. to the grump with the comment about the "non-notable guy" -- it was a truly notable woman, pal.  LDEWMCB 22:45, August 1, 2005
