Had forgotten that one, tsuwm, but.
My use of squiffy waaaay predates the post ... like childhood.
"My teddy (bear) got wet in the bathtub and now he's all squiffy."
The thread mention may have tucked the word into my brain and regurgitated it later, out of the blue, without my remembering reading it fairly recently.
That make sense? Or is my logic gone all squiffy?
