The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd

The legendary dictionary of things there should be words for - now in handy app format.

BADLESMERE - One who dishonestly ticks the ‘I have read the Terms and Conditions’ box.

BERRIWILLOCK - An unknown workmate who writes All the best on your leaving card.

LETCHWORTH - The door charge at a lapdancing club.

WOKING - Standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.

WONERSH - One who insists they don’t watch television, only box sets.

A liff is a familiar object or experience that English has no words for. Douglas Adams and John Lloyd’s much-loved humour classic corrects this disgraceful oversight by recycling the names found on signposts.
