Forgotten cowboy slang we should all use again

CATAWOMPUS: Fiercely, eagerly, awry, cockeyed, crooked, skewed.

Example of a modern-day use: “Yeah, I don’t know how to feel about last night. She took one look at me without my clothes on, told me I was all catawompus down there, made me wear kitty ears and told me to go for it.”
