off-kilter

off-kilter - adj. - not in perfect balance, a bit askew; eccentric, unconventional

Somehow this came up in a conversation at work the other day. And none of us could remember how to properly say the word:

"Off-kelter?"

"No, that doesn't sound right. Off-canter?"

"Now, I know that's not right."

"Off...?"

"What does it even mean?"

"It's when something is off or not right."

(then we somehow got on the discussion of the Earth's axis)

"I don't know. Hey, maybe I'll use it as one of my WoDs!"
