Something that is warped or crooked, but in such a way that it happens to match or fit perfectly with something else that is similarly warped or crooked. From copycat + catawampus, as the one item "copies" the crookedness of the other.
I used to think my floors were uneven, until I found this wobbly chair: now they're copycatawampus and everything's good.
