Coddiwomple Catawampusly

Alsancak, İzmİr — Turkey

Coddiwomple … what a word!  I saw it on a Facebook post this morning and decided to write a quick blog post just to remember it.  Besides … it sort of describes what’s ahead of us at the moment.

What does it mean?  Not what I would have expected just from looking at the word … “to travel purposefully towards a vague destination.”  Just as I was done chuckling, another FB poster chimed in with the suggestion … “if that road takes you on a diagonal to your vague destination, you can coddiwomple catawampusly.”  Love it! 

Is the vague destination figurative or literal?  Who knows … who cares.  I just like the sound of these two words … especially when used jointly
