I have a couple “quickies” for you:

Butterfly- Was this originally “Flutterby” that was corrupted?

Kittywompus- I’ve heard this used by only one person. He used it to refer to something that was messed up, off-square, slanted….etc.

I’m a new listener and I really enjoy this show.

I appreciate your time with this.
