The Meaning of Liff (inbunden, eng)

<p><b><i>The Meaning of Liff</i> has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since it was first published in 1983, and remains a much-loved humour classic. This edition has been revised and updated, and includes <i>The Deeper Meaning of Liff</i>, giving fresh appeal to Douglas Adams and John Lloyd's entertaining and witty dictionary.</b><br><br> In life, there are hundreds of familiar experiences, feelings and objects for which no words exist, yet hundreds of strange words are idly loafing around on signposts, pointing at places.

<i>The Meaning of Liff</i> connects the two.<br><br> BERRIWILLOCK (n.) - An unknown workmate who writes 'All the best' on your leaving card.<br><br> ELY (n.) - The first, tiniest inkling that something, somewhere has gone terribly wrong.<br><br> GRIMBISTER (n.) - Large body of cars on a motorway all travelling at exactly the speed limit because one of them is a police car.<br><br> KETTERING (n.) - The marks left on your bottom or thighs after sunbathing on a wickerwork chair.<br><br> OCKLE (n.) - An electrical switch which appears to be off in both positions.<br><br> WOKING (ptcpl.vb.) - Standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.</p>
