Ord som trengs

"...det engelske ordet for frykten for fredag den 13. er triskaidekaphobia."

Denne posten hos Vampus gir meg en unnskyldning for å sitere litt fra en av de morsomste bøkene jeg har lest, nemlig 'The Meaning of Liff' av Douglas Adams. Det er en ordliste over ord som strengt tatt ikke finnes (enda.)

Et par eksempler:

"AASLEAGH (n.)

     A liqeur made only for drinking at the end of a revoltingly long bottle
party when all the drinkable drink has been drunk.

ABOYNE (vb.)

     To beat an  expert at a  game of  skill by  playing so appallingly that
none of his clever tactics or strategies are of any use to him.

AINDERBY QUERNHOW (n.)

     One who continually bemoans the 'loss' of the word 'gay' to the English
language,  even  though they had never used the word in any  context  at all
until they started complaining that they couldn't use it any more.

BAUGHURST

     That kind of large fierce ugly woman who owns a small fierce ugly dog.

BLITHBURY

     A look  someone gives you  by which you become aware  that they're much
too drunk to have undertood anything you've said to them  in the last twenty
minutes.

BRISBANE

     A perfectly resonable explanation (Such as the one  offered by a person
with a gurgling cough which has  nothing to do with the fact that they smoke
fifty cigarettes a day.)

HAGNABY (n.)

     Someone who looked  a lot more attractive in the disco  than they do in
your bed the next morning.

HUBY (n.)

     A half-erection large enough to be a publicly embarrassing bulge in the
trousers, not large enough to be of any use to anybody.

MILWAUKEE (n.)

     The melodious whistling, chanting and humming tone of the milwaukee can
be heard whenever a public lavatory is entered. It  is the way the occupants
of the cubicles have  of telling you  there's no lock on  their door and you
can't come in.

WIMBLEDON (n.)

     That last drop which, no matter how much you shake it, always goes down
your trouser leg."

Kostelig! Men hva var navnet på det ene hjulet på shoppingvogna som konsekvent går i motsatt retning av de tre andre?
