Lighter also notes instances of catarumpus as a noun from 1848, of the adverb catawampously from 1834 (cited in the Dictionary of American Regional English: "The gineral was catawampously inclin'd tu the United States' service"), and of the verb catawampus from 1839 (cited Mitford Mathews, Dictionary of Americanisms on Historical Principles [1951]: "a catawampussed fix"). The longer version of the March 8, 1839, quotation cited from Mathews is from the New Orleans Picayune and uses catawampussed as an adjective meaning "Confounded, 'bodaciously used up'": Bastille • Eiffel Tower • Florida State Poochitentiary • Great Wall of China • Hollywood Bowl • Kennedy Space Center • Louvre • Washington Monument • White House • Wild Waldo's One-of-a-Kind Amusement Park Most early uses of the expression emphasize a sense of wildness and ferocity, and this in turn helps explain why early dictionaries connected the word with catamounts—large North American wildcats. That early association lives on in the name Wampus Cats, which high schools in Conway, Arkansas; Leesville, Louisiana; Itasca, Texas; Atoka, Oklahoma; and Clark Fork, Idaho all claim for their sports teams. Four of these five high schools are located in the south-central United States. Start by folding your square sheet in half diagonally. Do this on both sides, so you’ll end up with an X at the center. Pinch the center together.

Legacy+ feels, in some way, about not making the mistakes of our parents and about putting family first; the relationship between Femi and Made, as well as their music, is full of tenderness. “I hope people will hear the love and intimacy that we share,” says Femi. “My son had to be brought up during this very chaotic time and everybody still asks me, ‘How did he turn out like this?’ I look at him and say, ‘You make me so proud.’ All I did was give him love.”

The earliest Elephind match for the spelling catawampous is from the Anti-slavery Bugle (September 30, 1854): Before you start folding for your cootie catcher, you need to make sure that the paper you’re using is a square sheet. Most origami paper is already square-shaped, but in case you don’t have one, you can just fold and cut off the longer length of a bond-sized paper to end up with a square. Femi struggled to find his own musical identity at first. He’d played in his father’s Egypt 80 band since his teens and ended up standing in for Fela in 1984 at a show in Los Angeles, when Fela was detained at Lagos airport and jailed for 20 months on bogus charges of currency smuggling. Much to his dad’s anger, Femi resigned once Fela returned from jail, to start his own band, Positive Force. They reconciled in 1990, and Femi says he isn’t resentful, he sees the bigger picture. “[Fela] had this battle with the government, they kept beating him. He came out stronger, he came out fighting. His courage, his bravery, the pain he went through – after all that, I could forgive my personal grievances with him.”

But the meaning of catawampus here isn't entirely clear—it may mean "dangerously or insolently," rather than "obliquely." Nevertheless J.E. Lighter, Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (1993) firmly establishes that both the "ferocious" meaning and the "diagonal" meaning were in existence by 1851:A cootie catcher template can guide you when it comes to where to fold and the right number of times. There are lots of free cootie catcher templates you can find on the internet depending on how you want to design it or the kind of cootie catcher game you want to play. Here are a few examples: Ken Kolb says that he spent most of his life as a traveling salesman, and the years he noticed how air blowers in public restrooms were replacing old paper towel dispensers. While the new technology does have it advantages, it also prevents people from using the paper they would wipe their hands with after washing them to open the bathroom door on their way out. This he claims increases the risk or re-contamination, so he took it upon himself to come up with a solution. That’s basically the short story behind the Kooty Key, a small hook-like plastic device that allows germaphobes to interact with potentially-germ-infested surfaces without the risk of contaminating their hands.
