1. cockeyed

   Cockeyed generally refers to something that is crooked, askew, or not straight. It can also be used to describe someone who has a squint or whose eyes are positioned unusually. Additionally, it can denote something as absurd, foolish, or nonsensical. This term originates from either the unusual positioning of a rooster's comb or a possible distortion in a seaman's vision after looking through a ship's telescope.

Examples of cockeyed in a Sentence

1. Andy Duncan:

   The eccentricity I value is essentially benign, a harmless individualism that reflects a unique, cockeyed view of the world, and spices up what otherwise might be a mundane menu, these eccentrics tend to be self-aware and tongue in cheek. They're winking at us. Some eccentrics, moreover, are just visionaries ahead of their time, like the early advocates of such eccentric notions as animal welfare.
