Definately. ... but the real question is do you think there is something wrong with me?

No, the real question is "what in the actual hell is tenterhooks?"

Don't you yanky doodles have tenterhooks?

these guys?

can you believe all my life until recently i used to say tenderhooks?

Is THIS what you meant:  "By the mid-18th century, the phrase "on tenterhooks" came to mean being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, i.e. figuratively stretched like the cloth on the tenter." ??

is urban dictionary not better ?

 

An english saying. If someone is on tenterhooks, they are very nervous/excited about something that they are waiting for, and possibly dreading.

"Gee whiz, I was on tenterhooks because she hadn't turned up to our 5th year anniversary date yet. Turns out, she dumped me in a voicemail."
