The Uxbridge English Dictionary – John Naismith et al

This gem is a spin-off from the second-greatest radio show ever*, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. It’s a simple premise really - just a selection of words given new meanings, ranging from the whimsical to the downright filthy. There are big laughs on every page. Here are a few examples:

Myth – A female moth
Colonnade – A fizzy enema
Geraniums – The cry of the Royal Paratroopers Flower Arranging Display Team
Archery – To lie whilst under oath and at all other times
Countryside – The murder of Piers Morgan

* Number one being Round the Horne, obviously
