I come into work this morning, and one of my coworkers says, "Marcia, your hair is a little askew today."
"Askew?" I ask, reaching up to try and pat down any fly-aways.
"It's not bad," she replies, "just a bit askew."
What does this mean?

you had that fresh from outside, wind-blown look.
It meant that your hair was in a bit of disarray but not in a bad way.
You do not want Crystal Gale hair. Jeez.
if it was askew, but not in a bad way, perhaps you should consider going askew more often... just to keep them on their toes.
I was about to askew the same question.
A bit like akimbo, yet not.
From your co-worker's choice of words, I sense she was being quite nice about it. Sort of like a friend who gently tells you you've got wax coming out of your ear - all without making you feel embarrassed.
I've always loved that word. It rolls off the tongue quite nicely. Askew....ahhh.
