New Word

Thanks to KY, I read this article on Practising in Perak and I learnt a new word.

cock-a-hoop

According to answers.com, cock-a-hoop means:

1. Being in a state of boastful elation or exultation.
2. Being askew.

Now I will try to use this new word effectively.

I was damn cock-a-hoop because my guinea pig, Milk came up tops in the recent 'Fattest Guinea Pig' Contest.

Ergh. Wtf. Doesn't sound quite right.
