ADAMS DOUGLAS THE MEANING OF LIFF

From Douglas Adams ( The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ) and John Lloyd ( Blackadder  
Spitting Image   QI )  this is the 42nd anniversary edition of The Meaning of Liff. Revised 
updated and ready to change your life.  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. The Meaning of Liff connects the two. This is a
hilariously essential dictionary of things there should be words for - where all the words
themselves are recycled place names.  BERRIWILLOCK (n.) - An unknown workmate who writes 'All
the best' on your leaving card.  ELY (n.) - The first  tiniest inkling that something 
somewhere has gone terribly wrong.  GRIMBISTER (n.) - Large body of cars on a motorway all
travelling at exactly the speed limit because one of them is a police car.  KETTERING (n.) -
The marks left on your bottom or thighs after sunbathing on a wickerwork chair.  OCKLE (n.) -
An electrical switch which appears to be off in both positions.  WOKING (ptcpl.vb.) - Standing
in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.   42 years later  The Meaning of Liff is
back  but in a snazzier jacket.  Think of it as a mid-liff crisis.
