Wibbly-Wobbly
This is my new favorite stupid word of the week. I've been using it to describe things. I need to stop. In case you're not familiar with Stranger Than Fiction, "wibbly-wobbly" plays a prominent role in one of the phantom narrator's more hilarious lines about a government mental wellness professional:
Why was Harold talking to this man? This man... was an idiot;
this man used words like "wibbly-wobbly" and "convo,"
and explained that trees were trees. Of course trees were trees;
Harold knew that trees were trees.
Dumb as wibbly-wobbly may be, it works rather well for certain descriptive instances. My apologies to Kay Eiffel and Harold Crick both.

"Wonky" is always on the tip of my tongue these days.

Hey, me too! I really enjoy that word. I think I stole it from Buffy . . .
