Krátky popis
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.
