Kendall - Never heard of "Leaning toward Sawyers." Where are you?

             Around here they used to say "Headed off to Giles County," to mean out of square.

             The way I've heard "Cattywampus" used since the 1950's doesn't seem to fit any of the definitions Q supplied above. I recall is simply meaning something that didn't fit or seemed out of place.
