The Deeper Meaning Of Liff: Douglas Adams and John Lloyd

Subtitle: A dictionary of things that there aren't any words for yet! Such as... Clabby (adj.): A conversation struck up by a cleaning lady or commissionaire in order to avoid further work. The opening gambit is meant to provoke the maximum confusion and the longest clabby conversation. Or...Lowther (vb) To stand aimlessly about on the footpath after coming out of the cinema and argue about whether to go and eat a Chinese meal nearby or an Indian meal at a restaurant which someone says is very good but isn't certain where it is or just go home; or to have the Chinese meal nearby - by the time agreement is reached everything is shut. And many more definitions which are equally hilarious in true Adams fashion. Illustrated by Bert Kitchen.
