cock-eyed
Not at all straight
Cock-eyed means crooked, askew, or off-center: The picture frame hung cock-eyed on the wall.
It extends to ideas that are absurd or impractical: a cock-eyed scheme to get rich quick.
The word derives from the image of eyes that don't align properly—squinting or crossed.
Also spelled cockeyed.
