   “A whiff is a puff of wind, so “skew-whiff” probably originally meant “blown askew or awry by the wind.”

   Where it comes from is anyone’s guess. The earliest quotation in the Oxford English Dictionary is from the “Scots Magazine” of July 1754. Apparently it’s been listed in dialect dictionaries for Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Rochdale and the Shetlands."

    I guess it is related to the Southern country expression of “catiwampered”.
