Inhaltsangabe
The Meaning of Liff has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since it was first published in 1983, and remains a much-loved humour classic. This edition has been revised and updated, and includes The Deeper Meaning of Liff, giving fresh appeal to Douglas Adams and John Lloyd's entertaining and witty dictionary.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Does the sensation of Tingrith(1) make you yelp? Do you bend sympatheticall y when you see someone Ahenny(2)? Can you deal with a Naugatuck(3) without causing a Toronto(4)? Will you suffer from Kettering(5) this summer? Probably. You are almost certainly familiar with all these experiences but just didn't know that there are words for them. Well, in fact, there aren't --or rather there weren't, until Douglas Adams and John Lloyd decided to pl ug these egregious linguistic lacunae(6). They quickly realized that just a s there are an awful lot of experiences that no one has a name for, so ther e are an awful lot of names for places you will never need to go to. What a waste.
