my dad used cattywampus a lot, if something he was building or me and my brother were putting together and it was not stright he would tell us its cattywampus..

I also heard that word first from my dad, although I can't remember the context. However, it could well have been in reference to something that my brother and I were doing. Lord knows we made a lot of things that were cattywampus.
