catspraddle
Caribbean dialect (particularly Trinidad and Barbados).
Definitions
Caribbean dialect (particularly Trinidad and Barbados). Vividly describes an ungainly, limbs-everywhere tumble — like a cat knocked off a wall. Used to tease someone who trips or stumbles badly; carries a playful, laughing tone rather than real concern.
He hit that wet tile and catspraddled right in front of the whole class.
Comments
