Disheveled, messy, usually referring to one's hair. Of Pennsylvania Dutch origin.

This tag for Arnold Schwarzenegger actually was coined by Steve Lopez, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, in a column the day after the recall election that installed Arnold as governor, in spite of his acknowledged history of breast and booty grabbing (or, as Arnold described it, "being playful"). Garry Trudeau made Lopez's term nationally famous in the "Doonesbury" cartoons. It's a pun on a German term for a group leader, "gruppenfuhrer."
Governator Gropenfuhrer

Kittens born to a cloned cat. (Coined by comedian Craig Ferguson on CBS's "The Late Late Show," 15 December 2006.)
What do you call a clone's kittens? Clittens?...Clittens! I'm such a cunning linguist.
