Artikelbeschreibung
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.<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. 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.<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.<BR><BR>42 years later, The Meaning of Liff is back, but in a snazzier jacket.<BR><BR>Think of it as a mid-liff crisis.
