The kind of fun book that one dips into when one has a yet for a quick laugh that is truly inspired. ( )

No idea why it took me so long to read this little book, it was a birthday present that sat on my to-read shelf for an embarassingly long time. It's an A-Z guide of mostly UK place names that have been co-opted to stand as words for things that (mostly) don't already have words for them. If my memory was better, I'd definitely be using a lot of them from here on out. :) There's a large number of really gross ones, but it's made up for by the inclusion of Corriedoo and it's related terms pertaining to recognising someone walking toward you in a long corridor.

Incredibly funny and amazing, this book has me laughing every time I open it. ( )

When I first read this book, not long after it was first published, I remember constantly laughing out loud. It remains one of the funniest and most ingenious books ever written. ( )

Intelligent humour. ( )
