Have you ever heard of this word?
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new word lovers. This morning Grandma called to check on her Grandhounds. I reported that Emma was about 87.5%,
and Chaps was about 63.2. It seemed to me that his apple cart was still sighwonkertea. We got to talking about the word sighwonkertea and we laughed and laughed. I googled it and nothing would come up. Then we could not remember if it was a Kentucky slang or something our family made up. I am spelling it as it sounds.
Sigh – Wonker – tea
It means, at least to us, off kilter. So to say that the Mayor’s apple cart is sighwonkertea means that his darling system is still off balance.
Oh Mayor, let’s get that apple cart back in order!
Here is a picture of the Mayor with some of his apples from a few years back. He took them to the teachers at a school he visited. Himz always the teacher’s pet!
More keeping you posted later on the sighwonkertea apple cart……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Chaps bringing the teacher apples is showing everyone that it is sooooo important to be thoughtful.
As for Chaps not being up to his full Basset potential, more rest and treats will do the trick.
Nope Cat, can’t say I’ve ever heard that word. But, being from Texas, I’m sure we have a lot of strange words too! I love that word!
I never heard the word, either, But, you know what it means just by the sound of it. We whave goofy words in Wisconsin too. Here, a drinking fountain is called a bubbler.
