The Deeper Meaning of Liff

I just received my copy, and I've been laughing my ass off for a good 20 minutes now. I first learned about this book when I read the Salmon of Doubt, another off-beat (aren't they all?) Douglas Adams book I read years ago.

A few useful words from that dictionary:

lampeter: the fifth member of a foursome;

elsrickle: a drop of sweat which runs down your bottom cleavage;

malibu: the height by which the top of a wave exceeds the height to which you have rolled up your trousers

Gems, all.
