Barking Up The Wrong Tree
This is more general than the entries in the other list. And if you’re familiar with it, you might not have realized that it came from the South. The fact is, we’ve been barking a lot of time at the wrong tree. Actually, until anyone tells us about it, we can’t really understand why this is the case. Because they assume the wrong thing, somebody is known to bark the wrong tree.
Barking Up The Wrong Tree
Cattywampus
We accept that it’s a really stupid term! You won’t be able to prevent yourself from thinking that once you get started, though. Saying it out loud is a lot of fun! If you thought it had something to do with cats, you’re wrong, though. This relates to something out of the norm, like the painting that tilts to the right in the living room. Your friend from the South might say he’s pretty cattywampus! Is it okay now?
