I've always found the rather patronizing terms ''Joe Six Pack'' or ''Joe Public'' quite funny whenever I see them used.

Cattywampus- as in your hat is cattywampus if you wear it at a tilt I think?
Lobster also sounds like a funny word to me. There's always that one word that I'm like "why is that a word" at any given time

Thats funny. He probably mean "neurotic", and got confused ( not that you are neurotic, but that the word could be used as an epithet).
